http://www.youtube.com/user/Qronos16?feature=mhee Residents in three different counties received the message, titled "Emergency alert seek shelter by 1:24 p.m," which was not labeled as a test. Police departments and country authorities fielded four times the usual number of calls, many of them from distressed citizens who wanted to know whether a real emergency was in progress. "There is no reason to panic here," said Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden. "It is a false text done maliciously today at 12:27 p.m."
