Why would someone in Nanaimo (manic) get an alert that just took place in Langley? Amber alert I can understand. Anyway, it won't be long before nobody pays attention to these alerts.

Depends how the geofence region was set up for the alert.
Plus even in Nanaimo, you can ping off of Vancouver/Sunshine coast sites. Weak connections, but enough for the message to broadcast.
