I turned it off on my phone as well.
Woke me up at 2am before and it was in a totally different state...

I'm sitting at BJs with a couple coworkers and alarms were going off all over the place. Pretty funny if you take out the reason.....

Imagine that at something like a football game.

I along with others received the message today while in a meeting 50 miles away from Long Beach. My phone was on vibrate (I always have it on vibrate) and it still sounded off. I personally don't like it and find it to be annoying and invasion into my personal life. I didn't request those elerts, so please don't send them to me.

If you have the iPhone and upgrade the operating system, make sure you reset it (turn it back off). Upgraded to 7.1 today and the alerts were turned backed on after the upgrade.

May be slightly annoying but I'd rather leave mine on for that one in a million chance to be of help.

From my POS T-mobile thingie

I agree, at least while I am awake.

Like I stated elsewhere, It's probably not such an inconvenience if it is your kid...
