Some May Call It A Cry For Help

Reverse 911 calls sent out by mistake

"Because of an equipment error, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department sent out erroneous calls on its Reverse 911 system last night, Lt. Mike Munsey said.
The calls started just after 10:30 p.m. There was no emergency, despite what people might have thought when they got a call from the Sheriff's Department.
Munsey said the county was working to fix the problem as of 11 p.m."
