Florida city accidentally sends ‘zombie alert’ to residents during power outage
2018-05-23
Thank goodness it was only a bit of silliness that revealed a bug in the system.
[INDEPENDENT.CO.UK] A Florida city falsely sent out a "zombie alert" during a recent power outage.

The Palm Beach Post reported that city administrators appeared to send a text alert to all residents around 1:45am Sunday that read "power outage and zombie alert for residents of Lake Worth and Terminus".

"There are now far less than seven thousand three hundred and eighty customers involved due to extreme zombie activity. Restoration time uncertain," the alert read in all capital letters and red lettering.

#1  Apparently one of those spoof alerts the boys & girls in the back room compose to amuse themselves escaped from captivity. No doubt there are others mentioning "space aliens", "Cthulhu", etc.
