"Millions of people will get an "armageddon" phone alert as the UK
braces for Storm Eowyn.

"In the biggest ever alert, around 4.5 million people will hear a siren
from their phones at 6pm. Phones will also vibrate for up to 10 seconds.

"It will be sent to people in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland,
where the Met Office has issued a rare "red alert" warning."

Daily Excresence...

Sigh.

I'll see you on the far side of the moon...

I got it earlier (being in the near of Edinburgh). My wife got it at the
same time. I thought I'd disabled it but I forgot I updated the phone a
year ago. I also got a text from my home insurer telling me how to
contact them to claim and it would be likely their phones would be busy.

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper
name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating
or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its
logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of
the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.

Windiest I can recall for a few years. Being over 60 I noticed it was
breezy when I got up for a pee at 4.00am. When I actually got up at
7.00am it was windy/blustery. A few noticeably strong gusts this
morning but we're just starting the Red Warning now.

Ah. Well East Anglia is 'brisk' and now the rain has stopped, rather
springlike with broken overcast.

I enjoyed my drive. No trees down yet. I believe the worst is tonight

My niece was out on a supermarket floor when the alert arrived to every
phone in the shop all at once :)

They don't call them "cell broadcasts" for nothing.
