I wasn’t in Hawaii during the false alarm but I had friends calling me in midnight telling me that there’s gonna be a missile and I was completely shocked. Later many friends are talking about it and I knew that it was fake

It was a normal day, I woke up in the afternoon and probably played video games like I normally do. My family didn’t make a big deal about it when I woke up so I also didn’t. But I remember when I got to school the next week people started talking about it.

I have no idea what that Hawaii Falsealarmageddon thing is but one flashbulb memory I have is when 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami happened. I was on my way to the bathroom in elementary school with my friends and the huge earthquake came so we ran into the bathroom. Now that I think of, it was a bad idea to go into the bathroom but we just locked ourselves there until it got better.

My family was at Waipio park for my sisters game and when the alarm went off everybody left and we had to pack up the team’s tent. I think we ended up driving to a nearby mall and just sat in the car because there was nothing else to do.

I was sleeping at home when my family was rushing around the house trying to prepare just in case it wasn’t a false alarm. It was already later in the morning so I wasn’t up for too long before we found out it was a false alarm, but I really didn’t think it was real anyways so I was pretty relaxed.

I remember, on that Saturday, I woke up to a bunch of texts from my friends. I was confused as to what was going on so I had to scroll all the way up to find out what they were talking about because everyone was freaking out (I didn’t have the emergency alarm thing on for some reason). I was at home with my mom and brother, and my dad had gone off to work. I think I was kind of in shock and worried, but my brother and dad seemed to be unphased by it.

My whole family was separated because my siblings and I all had games. My brother had a tball game(my dad was with him), I was helping set up a soccer clinic with my old coach, and my two sisters were at another field with my mom. I was at a wide open field with no covering, and while we were setting up, I felt my phone buzzing like crazy. I took it out of my pocket and my coach told me to put my phone away and I couldn’t react in any other way but just show him my phone. We all ran to the car and luckily, he lived nearby so we went to his house for shelter. My parents and siblings were all freaking out because there was no way to know if everyone was safe. When we got to my coach’s house, we turned on the tv and saw that it was a false alarm.

My family and I went out to the north shore because of a beach house we were staying at for the weekend. So after a long night, I woke up at 8 in the morning and so was all of my cousins and such. I remember hearing a siren go off so I check my phone to see what is was. And while I read it I was still sort of waking up so I hadn’t processed the notification. So I continued my way on to the kitchen to eat. And luckily it message was fake.

I was not here during the Hawaii False alarm but I remember a similar incident when there was an earthquake warning on my Phone in the middle of the night in Japan. The notification warned us that there was going to be a huge earthquake and I remember sitting in my bed being worried and wondering when it was going to come but I did not feel anything for a while so I just went to sleep.

I wasn’t on island during the missile alert but I was actually on a plane coming back to O’ahu from visiting family in China. I don’t think anybody on that plane knew about it and I was completely clueless until I landed and I checked my phone’s messages. I was really confused at first about why people were sending me messages.

I was sleeping in my room when my dad came and swung my door open. He told me to go downstairs immediately and I didn’t know what was going on. When the 5 of us were in the basement, my parents told us that there was a missile threat and that it was coming to Hawaii any time soon. I was super scared and confused and I remember asking my mom what was going to happen. After a while, we got the alert that it was a false alarm and we were very relieved.

I was at dance practice when my teacher got the alarm. They had us go down to the basement and get into a corner. I remember seeing all the adults on the phone probably in contact with out parents or asking those they knew about the legitimacy of the alarm.

I was at Bellows camp grounds for my brothers class camp and I woke up in my tent to not knowing where my family was. I kept calling them and my moms phone kept going to voicemail which made me scared. I later found out she was charging her phone in the car. I was texting all my close friends and relatives saying how much I cared about them and then we found out there was no missile coming. After that we went to the beach and had a fun time camping.

I was at my school on a Saturday morning prepping for the next week. I had just arrived at school. I got the alarm on my phone, and my first thought was, gee, I'm about two football throws away from a military base. I might not exist in another 30 seconds. But I also thought, this has to be a mistake. I stood there like the proverbial deer in the headlight for about 30 seconds. Then suddenly I thought, I should turn on the TV. Which I did, and nobody was reporting anything about it. So I figured it must be a false alarm.
