Today the Emergency Broadcast System in Connecticut did a state wide test. Instead of the test message being broadcast they broadcasted a state wide evacuation message with no reason why we were suppose to leave. It took them about 10 minutes to say it was a error. State radio,television and emegency servives were flooded with phone calls from half paniced people......What a MISTAKE!

Are you still up to your eyebrows in snow? That could be really miserable.

Wait BLU, you mean you didn't leave? I wonder why everyone started calling radio,television, and emergency services. Me and my *** would be going 80 down the highway. <br /><br /><br /> :D <br /><br />Sean

I was driving home from work when it happened and had a cd playing. You know what was funny, the order was from 2:10 pm to 3:10 I guess at 3:11pm you could turn around and go home. They said the operator read the wrong code and sent it by accident......
