Ballistic missile headed your way!

My friend in Hawaii was in tears . . . she posted it on FB. Her husband is in the military and not current at home, so she was freaking out (understandably!). How can such an error be made??!

This is why I want an underground bunker/ root cellar.

I would get down on my knees and pray. I'm no longer a slave to fear, not afraid to die or anything so I would just get in my happy place-with God. =)

I would not have known what to do since I am not familiar with security routines in this area where we are now. At home in Connecticut, we would have received info on where to go..

I would totally panic for sure.

It's a pretty serious mistake to have made. I'm sure there were many who were panicking.

I am surprised that one can send such a message by error. Real-time exercise to check the reaction of the population ?

That is a scary emergency text message. I would not know what to do. When we had a major wildfires years ago, we got a reverse call accidentally telling us to evacuate. We did, but then they called back a couple hours saying our area does not need to evacuate it was an accident call.

I would PRAY! I would make sure I was right with the Lord so I know I'm going to heaven. John 3:16 says; "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish (go to hell) but have eternal life. Do you know Jesus as your Savior? He's the only one who can save you from an eternal life in hell. He loves you so much, He gave His life willingly on the cross because He wants you to spend eternity with Him and He wants you to have a relationship with Him now. We have no guarantee that there will be a tomorrow but there is a guarantee where you'll spend eternity either heaven or hell, which will it be? Only you know the answer to that! I pray you'll open your heart today and ask Jesus to forgive you your sins and invite Him into your heart.

It does make you think...I'm sure most people have no plans for escape or for seeking shelter. I will admit, I wouldn't necessarily know what to do if there was an incoming missile to my area, but now it gives me reason to think about it and think of a plan. One thing is for sure though, I would remain calm and not panic. When you start to panic you cannot think clearly.

The words, "Oh, sh*t" come to mind @Kandae11 . Unless people know where there is a shelter within the area where they are at, the confusion and panic would kill people quicker than the bomb drop. I don't even know if there are public bomb shelters any more. I guess an underground parking garage would work for some. For me out here in the country, I'd get a close up of its traveling journey.

I have no idead what I would do. Where do you take shelter seriously?

Oh lord. I really don't know! We dont have a bomb shelter. Most dont. It wasn't a concern... Until now with #45 ignorant in office with no knowledge of political policy. He has shelter and so does his rich friends. That wall he wants won't protect anyone. :(

I would grab the nearest beautiful woman, kiss her deeply, and hide behind a VOLVO

not sure what i would do... no place to really go

I would hope for the best and pray, because honestly, I am just not ready for such an event.

I would do a lot of praying since this world is run by real life madmen as leaders of their nations.

No point in hiding under the cot or running to open ground. I can do very little and that is what the Japanese were wondering after North Korea was firing many missiles over them - siva

Wow. I will go crazy if that will happen here like where on earth am I going to hide?

In such a situation your mind doesn't work for a minute or so. But have to act fast before that ballistic missile hit.
