Cover-Up Rumors Surround Florida Zombie Alert Amid Power Outage

Residents of Lake Worth, Florida were left shocked and baffled this week when the city’s push alert system sent text messages to thousands of phones warning of a zombie outbreak. To make the message more terrifying, the alert was sent in the middle of the night during a power outage.

The message sent to Lake Worth residents read like any other official alert, but with a seemingly tongue-in-cheek reference to a location from popular media franchise The Walking Dead:

Power outage and zombie alert for residents of Lake Worth and Terminus. There are now far less than seven thousand three hundred and eighty customers involved due to extreme zombie activity. Restoration time uncertain.
While Lake Worth is a real city, Terminus is a fictional post-apocalyptic outpost built inside a train depot in the highly overrated TV adaptation of Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore’s comic series The Walking Dead. Hopefully, that pop culture reference was enough to keep too many Lake Worth residents from panicking after the message was sent.

The city’s communication director Ben Kerr quickly took to Facebook to announce that city officials are “looking into the reports that the system mentioned zombies and “to reiterate that Lake Worth does not have any zombie activity currently and apologize for the system message.”

In response, many Lake Worth residents took to social media to voice their confusion and skepticism over the message. Some users think the city’s response “sounds like a cover-up” while others are focusing on the word “currently” in the city’s official statement, alleging it might imply a future outbreak.

Although knowing Florida, would anyone even notice if an outbreak did happen?

While mysterious public broadcasts and transmissions are nothing new, social media and these types of push alerts are making fake messages much easier to disseminate as the state of Hawaii unfortunately discovered earlier this year. Might these be examples of concerned whistle-blowers trying to warn us from behind the scenes, or just some mischievous hackers having fun at the public’s expense?

Speaking of zombies, this drug is turning its users into zombies, as if we didn't have enough 'dead' people walking in the world...

More K2 ‘zombies’ found passed out on Brooklyn sidewalk

Three people were discovered zombie-like and passed out on the sidewalks in Crown Heights after suffering from suspected K2 overdoses on a balmy Thursday afternoon.


The victims needed to be pried off the pavement at Eastern Parkway and Ralph Avenue at around 12:30 p.m. and were taken to the hospital as the NYPD investigated.


“This is extremely toxic, you literally do not know what you’re putting into your body,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said at a press conference.


“We’re seeing in the most recent incidents, two different strains. One appears to be much more toxic than the others.”


Shea said there had been close to 100 incidents in recent days.

This still makes me laugh... my aunt called me a couple of weeks ago after she said she saw this posted by "an official news page on Facebook" and as soon as she mentioned Terminus, I just started laughing...

Isn't it the law that when you get to be 65 you're required to move to Florida or Arizona?
I think it is. I've been getting myself prepared for the big move. It would be nice if this
turned out to not be true.

Why not Alaska ? think you can claim some piece of land there for free ? The gov. givin it away..
