Was that nationwide? I was on my lunch break and it scared the crap out of me.

I'd been waiting on it so I can hassle the office conspiracy nut when nothing happens.

This is the first I’m hearing of the pre-text warning. I found out through memes maybe 3 days ago!

[–] Candybar121@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I never got any warning. The only way I found out was through lemmy
