Residents and tourists shaken up over false missile alert in Hawaii

Residents in Hawaii received an emergency alert message on their phones Saturday morning. The alarming alert notified residents that a ballistic missile was heading for the island.

Moments later, the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency tweeted that it was a "false alarm."

With tensions high over the threat of North Korea's nuclear weapons program, the alert created panic for residents on the island and across social media.
