I'm really not trying to be dramatic but it was such a foreign (and loud) sound that my thoughts just jumped right to some kind of attack or bombing. I guess the news of the last year or two has kinda done a number on me, without my realizing it.

Reminds me of my parents growing up during the Cold War era, and how they've mentioned reacting similarly to these kinds of interruptions.

It really was terrifying! I had similar thoughts, and my poor cats were so freaked out.

I was half-asleep and thought the loud noise was funny, wondered if we'd been nuked

If we had, either it would be very obvious by all the buildings falling over, or you would already be dead.
