I got NOTHING - not a thing.
The test failed in many areas and it came late and the voice message could not be heard given how low the volume and and fuzzy the signal... I am not the only one to experience this either....

Nationwide Test of the Emergency Alert System
Wednesday, November 9 at 2:00 PM EST
Joint FEMA/FCC Letter: National Alert System Test (PDF 2MB, TXT 9KB)
As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our country and communities safe during emergencies, we're working in partnership with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to conduct the first nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The EAS test plays a key role in ensuring the nation is prepared for any type of hazard, and that the U.S. public can receive critical and vital information should it ever be needed.
Over the past year, our agencies have been working with the broadcast community, cable operators and programmers, and other communications service providers that participate in the Emergency Alert System; our state, local, tribal, and territorial partners; and other critical stakeholders to help inform all members of the public regarding the nationwide Emergency Alert System test.
Here are specific items we want everyone to know about the test:
- It will be conducted Wednesday, November 9 at 2:00 PM EST.
- It will be transmitted via television and radio stations within the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, the territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.
- Similar to local emergency alert system tests, an audio message will interrupt television and radio programming indicating: "This is a test."
- When the test is over, regular programming will resume.
As we get close to the test, the FCC and all of our many partners are working together to spread the word to as many members of the public as possible -- so people know what to expect when the test takes place, and no one is caught off guard. We're asking everyone to join us by spreading the word to your neighbors, co-workers, friends and family -- share this web page, post a message on your social media site, and feel free to embed our videos on your website or blog.
For additional questions, visit the FAQ's page and the FCC EAS Test page.
On November 9 at 2:00 PM EST, please remember:
don't stress; it's only a test..
