DAFUQ Amber Alert Scare

I got two of these in a matter of half an hour between.

Second was with my radio volume at 25+ and it scared the **** out of me on Devil's Slide, NOT THE BUSINESS.....

No that alert seriously pissed me off. I could care less now. I turned off all amber alerts on my phone.

I foresee everyone turning off their amber alerts and the system becoming useless.

My wife got one.

I think it's stupid. Unless something is going down within a certain radius of my house it's pointless to give me an alert like that.

Last winter I was getting all these flood alerts and I'd walk out and be like... wtf? It's not even raining.
