For one to think that a message sent to every single cellphone in America wouldn't cause Twitter to blow up is just ludicrous.

And that's exactly what happened. An alert was sent to over 200 million wireless users and Twitter, as expected, collectively lost its mind.
Memes began flooding the Twitter-verse faster than the actual alert went out.
Here are some of the best alerts people created:

Note: the alert wasn't physically sent by the "president" himself (even though it was called the "Presidential Alert"). It was actually sent out by FEMA, The Federal Emergency Management Agency.
