If I Was In Hawaii And Received That Warning Message - My First Thought Would Be.....

[global1]

to say 'That Damned Trump' look what he did to us.

I wouldn't be thinking NK - I'd be blaming Trump.

I wonder how many people in Hawaii had the same thought?

1. The immediate concern probably was survival and their loved ones.

Once the immediate crisis was over, then they can start taking a look at how and why
this happened. Trump is certainly the reason that a false alarm was totally credible.

2. Honestly it would be "find the closest bar"

And run through the following rationalizations:

- probably a false alarm, every other nuclear launch alert has been

- even if NK is lobbing a missile in this general direction, the odds of them coming anywhere close to the Islands are slim

- and even if they are on target, the odds they're going to come anywhere close are slim

- and assuming they miraculously drop an ICBM within several miles of me, the odds they have a payload - nuclear or otherwise - that successfully detonates on their first try are very low

- and if I somehow manage to lose despite the odds being stacked heavily in my favor, I want to be as numbed as possible before having a fly-into-the-sun moment

Probably makes me a shallow or horrible person but sounds like a reasonable response to me
