I turned my phone off.

Easy peasy. Didn't have to hear or see it.

Same here. Just thinking that some folks don’t watch a lot of tv and I turn cell off when I take a nap or don’t want anymore robo calls....So how would those people and I find out about a national emergency. Maybe they need to have the air raid sirens like in the old days!!!

You don't have to turn off your phone.  Just turn off your alert capability in your phone settings.

DH and I did not get the phone alert because those settings are off.  It did come on the TV.

@sunshine45  Twenty minutes earlier and Bold & Beautiful would have cut off. Then my Mom screaming could be the alert!!! 🤪

@Cakers3. If there were an actual emergency, I’d want my phone settings to be on. I can live w/o TV.

@Shanus  I agree and I wasn't clear.  Our settings are off right now and so we didn't get the alert.  We don't leave them off all the time.

Sometimes those severe thunderstorm alerts at 3 in the morning are annoying.  LOL

Rec’d 2 alerts. 

[Shanus]

My alert’s still on TV....a little too long for just a test, no? Maybe it’s stuck. 🤪

No alert on my phone or on my tv.  I apparently don't need to know about any emergencies.
