Why did I hear one about 2:00 today? Is it because of the air getting worse? Is it some kind of yellow dust warning?

They have those as a part of drills every so often. It will happen again every month to few months. They also scramble jets around Seongnam/Bundang as a part of the exercise sometimes. You can hear/see them overhead.

It's actually part of the war games going on with the US Military currently. My wife has to take part in a drill where they are repelling forced tyring to enter and leave her workplace.

Was kinda weird this morning. She left in her black SWAT uniform and told me she'd be back very late due to war games.

Just FYI

No kidding? I knew something was going on with the military. I thought it was all happening around Daegu though.
