We heard the alarms, realized it was too cold for a tornado and checked the sky (blue sky to both the east and west). Weather.com wouldn't load as I'm sure everybody else was checking it. I also considered the nuke option but realized that we are far enough away from anything that would be targeted and prevailing winds generally would carry fallout away from us (yes, I probably read too many Tom Clancy-type novels to have this be something I considered).
There's a rumor that it was supposed to go off at 6 pm because it's severe weather awareness month but somebody accidentally set it for 6 am.
My thoughts are, if you don't know.....do you really care. And if you do know.....you really don't care.
I have a friend that's a deputy sheriff at the facility that sets off the alarms. I texted him to see if I could start the rumor that he's the one that set off the alarms. He texted back, "Go with it." His name is Jeff. Jeff woke everybody in Hennepin County up early this morning.
someone came in asking me if I'd seen very pregnant team lead this morning. I'm like I have not.........which made me curious but she still had like 3-4 weeks to go so I figured eh, probably just late getting in, whatever. She was here yesterday so probably just had a doc appt or running behind - since this was at like 8:15.
Then I hear that person come back just now and talk to my manager and there were happy sounds. Manager comes in to confirm healthy baby girl

Yeah, I don't have to take it very often, so not a big deal for me. Everyone is routing to cornhusker, so that also takes forever and I guess capeheart is also under construction.
They always seem to do that. Start working on one road and then start working on the best alternative route. When they tore down the 120 St overpass to finish the west dodge expressway the following Monday they started repaving Miracle Hills drive. What a mess that was
I was still living in west Omaha when the expressway was built, but didn't realize they were repaving Miracle Hills, too. Not like that area wasn't already confusing...pre or post expressway. Just glad I worked at 108th & L when the expressway was being built and not downtown.
I'm not buying it. It went off at 0611 this morning. It is supposed to be tested at 1855 tonight. They said they did some work to the software this week and they think that is where the glitch came from.
By the way, I checked the sky then turned on my radio. I thought about nukes, but I was thinking Nuclear plants rather than nuclear missiles.
Had my car looked at today after having my repair just last week. Went back to same place, it was just a minor issue causing the noise and they made the correction today at no extra charge.
If you weren't posting on CF on your phone maybe you would see when I waved you in. If you snooze, I'm not giving you a second chance.
This was right by where that idiot put 4 shots into someone else's car last week, by the way.
Home today from work with strep. Just picked up antibiotics nearly the size of a quarter (fortunately they cut in half easily). Mom was asking if we'd been sick at all this winter/spring last Thursday. Nope, avoided everything. BAM!! Next day, one of us has it, and now we're both on meds. Guess I spoke too soon.
:arghh:

This winter was hell for me. Had a major flu bug at new years that knocked me out for like 3 days. Also a few minor ones after that. I pride myself on myself on being someone who doesn't get that sick so hopefully this winter makes me good for like a year or so.
27 likes for my comment in the Niang thread. Which was just a throw away comment that I still don't think was anything special. I'll just never understand CF.
