**ssiikmuz** · 11-07-2011, 02:19 AM

you have to add in cme + ice doom tomorrow morning.

Is there a thread on that?

**Sanremogirl** · 11-07-2011, 02:29 AM

All this means is that nothing is gonna happen.

**BurdenRobert** · 11-07-2011, 02:40 AM

All this means is that nothing is gonna happen.

Lets hope so....I don't rule out that being aware of something actually reduces the possibility of it happening. Kind of like observing a quantum wavefunction or something.

**GennadiyRom** · 11-07-2011, 02:50 AM

November is now Doomfest, drink up.

Bump for tomorrow's test.

**12Jasoumemoobia** · 11-09-2011, 03:14 AM

Just flexing their muscles so that we will accept that they can and will shut down our ability to communicate and to get information on a flick of a switch.

Unless that asssteroid thangy hits tomorrow.. we shall see

**mealiusarses** · 11-09-2011, 03:17 AM

also, for those inclined, the notice gets released on 10/22/11

all derivatives of 11...

all spells doom to me,

and 11/9/11 is a Weds. , middle of the week, nice and slow....

D'oh! I didn't read this thread when it first came out, and it just now occurred to me that the numbers 9/11 are in tomorrow's date. Hope nothing happens, but it's eerie how quiet things have been lately.

**dubballey** · 11-09-2011, 03:22 AM

Bump for tomorrow's test.

Wednesday DOOM CHAT 1 PM est ?

As mtnman said (over there) It's not a test, it's a demonstration. Perfect! I just know I'll be volunteering at the school tomorrow during this 'test', just in case...

(BTW, the asteroid already passed w/o incident tonight)

**rowneigerie** · 11-09-2011, 12:08 PM

Bump!

For reminder to make and install the tinfoil hats!

Feds to Test Nationwide Alert Wednesday

2 p.m. EDT test was shortened to 30 seconds

FEMAThis is only a test ...

The federal government will take over TV and radio on Wednesday for a 30-second test of a system designed to inform the nation of major emergencies.

The test, initially scheduled to last for three-and-a-half minutes, will interrupt television, radio and satellite radio shows at 2 p.m. EDT. State and local tests have taken place for years, but this will be the first nationwide, comprehensive test of the National Emergency Alert System.

The system was designed to be activated on the president's orders in the event of a national emergency.

FEMA is conducting the test jointly with the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Communications Commission and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

"The test is being conducted as part of their ongoing efforts to keep the nation safe during emergencies and strengthen our resilience against all hazards," FEMA said in a press release.

The test's duration was shortened amid concerns such a long alert could cause panic.

"We're asking everyone to join us by spreading the word to your neighbors, co-workers, friends and family... please remember: don't stress; it's only a test," FEMA said in a blog post.

The test is part of the Emergency Alert System designed to transmit, via TV and radio, emergency alerts and warnings regarding weather threats, child abductions and other types of emergencies, according to officials.

While state and local tests already take place frequently, a simultaneous, nationwide test of the national EAS "emergency action notification" code has never occurred.

Mntman is still around? I thought he hunkered into his cabin with a shotgun aimed out the plastic covered window. Why doesn't that cantankerous hillbilly post here?

**VomsVomaMew** · 11-09-2011, 01:05 PM

Son of a bitch, anyone ever notice 11-11-11 in the BofA logo?

**medprof** · 11-09-2011, 01:06 PM

Not sure, but he is a member here as well.

**vipbunter** · 11-09-2011, 01:11 PM

Well, if something happens with BofA today the connection will be too obvious to ignore, even for the figuratively blind.

**actifadepette** · 11-09-2011, 01:14 PM

Wouldn't it make more sense for it to happen Friday, on the 11th?

**DoctorDulitlBest** · 11-09-2011, 01:17 PM

Of course it would. See, I get up around 5:30, but I don't actually wake up until about 7am.

**zCLadw3R** · 11-09-2011, 01:18 PM

Do you try to be in bed by 9pm and home by 11pm?
