The best Florida can say about this morning’s emergency-alert mishap is that it wasn’t as bad as Hawaii’s false alarm in 2018 that missiles were about to rain down on the heads of residents.

The second-best Florida can say is that, with so many retirees, let’s be honest, people were up anyway.

Still, it wasn’t great that a test of the state’s emergency-alert system was blasted out to residents’ phones at 4:45 a.m. ET on Thursday. And especially not when the governor is trying to burnish his image as an ultra-competent executive. Angry (and very awake) Floridians scorched the government on Twitter, prompting a swift apology from the Division of Emergency Management. “This alert was supposed to be on TV, and not disturb anyone already sleeping,” the agency explained.

Governor Ron DeSantis called the unbidden alarm “completely inappropriate” and vowed “accountability.”

All’s well that ends well. Someone’s getting fired. His press secretary assured: “The party responsible will be held accountable and appropriately discharged.”
