FYI if you or someone you love is a victim of domestic violence and has a second secret/hidden phone for safety reasons, on October 4th at 2:20 pm EST FEMA is testing the national text alert system. This is one is supposed to override sound systems regardless of your notification or volume settings. The only way to avoid it is if the phone is turned off. So if you have a second/hidden phone for safety purposes, please know it will make a sound on October 4th at 2:20pm EST.

I checked Snopes and this does appear to be legitimate information. Stay safe everyone!

FEMA will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alert system on Oct. 4, 2023.

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance. The cloud clears as you enter it. I have learned this, but like everyone, I learned it late. ~Beryl Markham
