Oops, We Accidentally Scared the Hell Out of an Entire State

If you are currently in Hawaii, I probably don't need to tell you that the warning that came through your TV, radio, and phone today about a missile heading towards the island was a mistake.  Here's the pertinent information:

• This is an overview of what happened.
• The error was corrected quickly (but not quick enough for some).
• The alert system was just restarted not too long ago.
• Many of the people commenting on this thread were in Hawaii, gives you a good "boots on the ground" look at how people handled the alert.
• I wish this response was tongue-in-cheek but I don't think it was.
• This is a ballistic missile preparedness FAQ from Hawaii.
• And Japan prepared a "how to survive a ballistic missile attack" guide here.
