I'm thinking this false alarm may be a blessing in disguise. It actually gets people thinking about what they should do.

If you panic, you will die. If you shrug your shoulders, grab a beer, and go outside to watch the fireworks, you will die. The folks I read about who started filling water bottles, gathered hand tools, and got the family together in the bathroom with a mattress over them? They have a good chance of survival.

Personally, I think they should find the guy who issued the alarm, and give him a medal. He could very well end up saving lives.
