Wow.
You know, I have never heard the Emergency Alert System be used before? I heard the signal, and thought it was a test, and then I twigged: we were in the middle of a piece of music, and there was someone talking. It was being activated under Levi's Call, a program to help stop child abduction by issuing statewide notifications. Here's the text from Channel 11:
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has activated a Levi's Call, Georgia's Amber Alert, at the request of the Perry Police Department.
It has been reported that Jalynn Nevaeh Blount, a white, female infant, 2 months old, dob 04/20/06, 2 ft. tall, 10 lbs, brown hair and eyes, has been abducted. She was last seen wearing a blue and white onezee with a picture of a giraffe.
She was abducted on Tuesday, June 6, 2006 at 8:30am by Russel Horton, aka "Rusty". He is a white male, 37 years od, dob 02/05/69, 6ft. tall, 200 lbs, short, red hair wearing a white t-shirt and khaki shorts.
