Most folks in Alabama (probably over 90-percent) would not have seen it unless it was in the middle of local news, Judge Judy, the Andy Griffith Show, or aired via the Fox News. Some folks would have felt their channel from the satellite was messed up and flipped it to the Braves Channel or some Mexican soccer game.
Four percent of Alabamians would have asked what 'BALLISTIC' meant. Various meanings would have been offered and every college graduate in the state would have been getting calls to explain the term.
The first reaction by the Baptist crowd would be to arrange up a quick prayer over something misguiding the missile to land in some state.
Some folks would have asked if this was a warning similar to tornado warnings, or just a tornado-alert (which tends to mean nothing unless Doppler-Radar shows it impacting).
Most local TV news folks would have argued about who would be the guy talking folks through this....either the weather guy (the chief science expert), or Misty (the blond gal from Tulsa).
Bars and public drinking establishments would have offered up a two-for-one deal on drinks, but demanded cash for each drink served.....no credit cards.
Some guys would have debated putting feed or hay for cattle, or just waiting till after the impact to see if there were any cattle left.
This might have triggered some of the more long-term bachelor guys to finally agree to date some of the more long-term single gals. Course, this is a 30-minute window and it's hard to figure how much of a date you can accomplish in that period.
Discussions would have occurred with the more intellectual Alabamians.....over whether storm-cellars or tornado-shelters would provide adequate protection over a nuke missile from North Korea. This would have triggered various comparisons to shelters that had been seen on the History Channel.
Finally, some Alabama kids would have called into their local school and asked if the missile alert was enough to cancel school for tomorrow.
