Did anyone else in the St. Louis area get a tornado warning this morning on their phone?

It happened to my wife and me while we were driving, a little after 10 AM...it was only in effect until 10:15, and the weather was fine, no sign of a tornado. A few minutes later, a radio alert told us there wasn’t an actual tornado, that this was a test or something, and we should spend the time to study what to do in the case of a tornado. But if we hadn’t been listening to the radio, we would have had no way of knowing that.

The whole thing seemed like a bad idea. What if there’s a real tornado warning on our phones at a later date? How would we know if it was real? This could have a real “boy who cried wolf” consequence.

1. Not St. Louis but S Central KS (near Wichita)...the same thing tornado warning on phone and sirens..

blared...no notice of testing...clear sunny skies...I thought "test" but with no indication maybe incoming nuke or something...I know "common sense" but still wth...

2. The NWS Facebook page posted..

that the alert was accidentally triggered during a test. There are no active tornado warnings in the US at this time.
