    Cool. Another alert that will make it more likely that I’ll ignore an actual alert.

    My phone keeps sending me amber alert/silver alert messages from the other side of the state. I live in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. I get these alerts from El Paso. El Paso is closer to San Diego than it is to me. Las Cruces, just on the other side of the TX/NM border from El Paso, won’t get an alert but I will.
