Scary - but it doesn't say *where*!
Reminds me of an Our Miss Brooks episode, something like this: Mr. Conklin (HS principal) gets a new radio for his office. Sets it up, turns it on, and first thing he hears is "Alert! Alert! Major typhoon warning! Driving rains, gale force winds, flooding likely!"
He panics, calls all the HS faculty and students together to prepare for the storm. But Stretch Snodgrass (remember him?) notices the radio is short wave, and was tuned to New Delhi, India.
Not in my backyard!
