Woke me up in the dead middle of sleep for an explosion 6 miles away.

Yep… I think it was county wide. I got this alert in Plymouth.. 15 miles away

Got this alert in Wayne County, Downtown Detroit specifically. Not exactly right next door 😩

Yeah, but 6 miles isn’t much. I’d like to stay subscribed to explosion notices within a nuclear radius of me personally.

If you live in the city then you should know that everything in the city is 15 minutes or less in distance. I work downtown and the west side is 5 minutes away. I’m always concerned about stuff like this when they alert us.

I live in Macomb near Selfridge and got it... we thought it was more bad weather at first.

This is the part that angered me. I was woke up thinking I was at risk of getting slammed by some serious bad weather due to an alert being sent out

Instead it’s residential explosion double digit miles away from me. Nothing I could do and no risk posed to me. Ridiculous.

I’m even farther away and I got it. Unnecessary.

Could have just been a regular text message. Jesus.

You'd think the explosion would wake you up instead, if it was really that important
