The Governor was sheltering place.
Via Fox News:
Hawaii GOP gubernatorial candidate has labeled Democratic incumbent Gov. David Ige “Doomsday David” and called on him to resign over the state’s recent false alarm fiasco.
Republican John Carroll said this week that the public lost faith in Ige because of an erroneous missile alert Jan. 13 that had Hawaii residents fearing for their lives for nearly 40 minutes.
“Doomsday David Ige has got to go now,” Carroll said, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.
After the mistake made headlines around the world, Ige apologized, saying an unnamed employee of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency had mistakenly sent the missile threat alert to cell phones and other devices throughout the state, the Star-Advertiser reported.
The false alert took 38 minutes to correct, with Ige taking 15 minutes to announce the alarm was false, according to the Hawaii National Guard’s top commander.
The employee responsible has since been reassigned, and Ige has called for changes to the way the state handles legitimate alerts and false alarms.
