Am I the only one that if I got a message like that I'd jump in the car and drive as fast as I could to the local Air Force Base to make sure I was at ground zero? I'd so much rather be vaporized than die of radiation poisoning.Does it even matter?
How many Hawaiins have bomb shelters and always stay within 10 minutes of the house?

I've always been happy that I've always worked at or near the most likely nuke targets every where I've ever lived.

If it was a real missile there would be nothing you could do. You're screwed. Not only will you most likely die, your death will be slow and excruciating unless you were lucky enough to be within 1500 meters or so of the blast hypocenter. Your skin would be scorched off and you'll go blind and deaf but still be alive, only to die a few hours or days later due to a combination of burns, radiation sickness, and dehydration.
It's too bad conservatives had to elect Trump. We never had to fear this kind of stuff under Obama or any other president. Now we have a mentally deranged moron with nukes tweeting threats to a dictator with nukes who has already threatened Hawaii. Trump doesn't care tho because Mar a Largo is so far from north korea and the west coast and Hawaii area Dem states anyway. He'll be on air force 1 tweeting and eating cheeseburgers while millions of Americans die one day.
Yeah right, they taste like wheat grass and kale. I'll be making pulled porker sandwiches out of the first 300 pounder I find.Vegans always taste better.
With previous administrations all Kim Jong Un had to do was beat his chest and checks were written. And we all know the payola NK got from Bill Clinton.
All this has done is to allow this despot to strengthen his grip on power and have money to test rockets.
The NK is walking a fine line. China and other countried are putting the squeeze on NK.
KJU did not assume power until 2011, 10 years after the Clinton presidency ended. Also KJU's grip on power in his country has never struck me as particularly tenuous. The long history of NK making threats and using provocative action to extract economic relief is well known. The race for nuclear tipped ICBMs is a slightly newer phenomena that was arguably brought about by US decisions/policy over the past couple decades. NK put those programs into warp after Trump won the election, for reasons that should be obvious.
Forgive me for being blunt, but the proposition that N Korea would engage in first use of nuclear weapons against the US is completely absurd. I mean, just right out of the wild blue yonder. To entertain that notion for more than a few seconds is to have been chumped by the fear mongers.
It's happened before, of course. I remember the stupid duck & cover drills from the second grade, even an evacuation drill.
Honolulu and 100 kt, airburst. Horrific, but not state obliterating.
We don't have very precise info on NK weapon yields. Estimates from last test ran the gamut from 50kt to 300kt. Also the aimpoint is going to affect things some since HI has geography.
Fuc*wit!
We didn't have a fuc*ed up president antagonizing a fucked up dictator. Had he not been elected we still wouldn't. Make sense? No? There's only one explanation but that explanation also means you're too stupid to understand it.
Do I have to choose one? Evil gon' escalate all over because... Evil.Are you talking about North Korea or Russia/Ukraine? He is escalating in both arenas.
Hollywood individuals now say it was DT's fault - http://ew.com/news/2018/01/13/hawaii-missile-scare-celebrities-trump/
Let see:
Hawaii is a blue state and has a Democrat as Governor.
It was an employee from Hawaii government that sent out the alert in error.
I know, it was Russia that hacked into the system and sent out the alert with the full cooperation from DT and Republicans. Collusion indeed. Case closed everyone.
Two things Trump owns regarding this. This would never have happened if Trump hadn't been playing chicken with Kim.
The other thing that cannot be blamed on anyone but Trump is how his only interest was golf and attacking the "real" enemy, everyone who doesn't like him.
Other Presidents would almost certainly have dropped what they were doing, golfing including, to get on top of this alert. So far we don't know that Trump is yet aware it ever happened. Trump is the most important thing in this world and I seriously doubt he would have allowed himself to be disturbed if the threat was genuine and a strike was on the way.
According to emergency officials, it was part of a drill (ironic given the "not a drill" segment) and wasn't supposed to go public.
With that said, welcome to Trump's America, where the threat of an ICBM attack on Hawaii isn't just a fantasy.
Welcome to the new lefty world. We can totally send out fake emergency messages and then blame Trump. I hope someone is being investigated for making terrorist threats to people of HI.

You're being willfully obtuse. I'm not blaming Trump for the alert; it's just a sad commentary on Trump's needless antagonism and overall stupidity that an alert like this is plausible.
Or a politically motivated government employee who didn't care about their job looking to make the current president and administration look bad which seems to be the new norm.
A rather well timed accident with seeming no repercussions
