My granddaughter is very thoughtful.

She just thought that I might be worried so that is why she let me know.

I never had either, although I did have a few Pioneer Supertuners back in that era.

It was scheduled and occured at 14:20 here on the East coast. Notices were everywhere yesterday so we were ready. Apparently they triggered every existing mobile phone number in the US.

It's a system designed for any nationwide emergency and it can also be used in specific areas only.
