Millions of cranky Floridians were woken in the small hours of Thursday morning by a loud emergency alert sent to their phones - which was supposed to be broadcast on TV. At 4.45am, Floridians with smartphones were disturbed by a loud alarm, used for Amber Alerts or hurricane warnings, and a text that read: 'TEST - This is a TEST of the Emergency Alert System. NO action is required.'The Division of Emergency Management tweeted an apology for the unintended early start and explained it was supposed to be a test run on TVs, that wouldn't disturb anyone already sleeping or cause panic.
