Florida city broadcasts actual ZOMBIE alert; warns residents of “extreme zombie activity”

Another highly unusual emergency alert went out to citizens, this time in the Florida city of Lake Worth.

Screenshot imagery shows that residents throughout the Lake Worth area were issued warnings that a power outage had been caused by “extreme zombie activity,” and that “restoration time” was “uncertain.”

The power outage part was accurate, but not the “extreme zombie activity” part – even though it was clearly included as part of the alert in two different parts of the message.

As relayed by WFLA, the message erroneously stated that there were “far less than seven thousand three hundred and eighty customers involved due to extreme zombie activity.”

While it was true that more than 7,000 customers of the local electric utility lost power, there was no link whatsoever to zombies. City spokesman Ben Kerr reiterated this in a Facebook message, stating that “Lake Worth does not have any zombie activity currently.”
