Today, Wednesday, August 11 , 2021, the United States government will conduct its first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) formerly known as the Emergency Broadcast System, but there is a VERY STRANGE WARNING as part of this test; The test will last 5-10 minutes...
According to a notice from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the nationwide test will reach all TV's, radios, and cellular telephones. The test will begin sometime between 2:00 PM and 2:20 PM eastern time, which, of course, translates into 1:00 Central time, 12 Noon Mountain time, 11:00 Pacific time, 10:00 Alaska time and 9:00 Hawaii time.
Here's what makes this test VERY ODD:
1) In the 59 years I have been alive, no test of the Emergency Broadcast System has EVER last five to ten minutes. Not one. Ever.
2) The notice from FEMA and from TV and CELLPHONE providers warns every user that: After the test is completed, you may have to reboot your device to return it to normal operation. To reboot, unplug it or shut it off for 15-20 seconds. Pull the plug out from the wall if necessary and wait 15-20 seconds, then plug it back in. Here is one such notice from OPTIMUM to their cable TV subscribers:
The length of the test is odd in and of itself, but a REBOOT?

Anybody got any thought on what to make of this? What might be happening in that time frame to be covered up? Is there a way to upload "stuff" on our devices when we power back up? If this is true, something stinks here.
The time past but I never got any alert so I don't know.
