I am glad I have never experienced a Red alert. Amber was the highest alert I ever experienced.

I remember this well, Cherie – I used to work for the Navy Support Command, and we had alerts like this quite often

On this occasion I am not entirely convinced that it was random because red and orange always seem to be warning signals!
