Some residents began receiving an emergency alert message on Saturday stating, “Ballistic missile threat inbound to Hawaii. Seek Immediate shelter. This is not a drill.” Taking to Twitter, UFC flyweight Louis Smolka first offered a message concerning the matter.

Louis Smolka returned to Twitter to comment on the situation.
“You can’t be f**king around like that, I had a to-go bag ready and we were about to head for yokes or North shore or something,” he said.
