The "Storm Area 51" event has drawn more than 2 million RSVPs on Facebook. Officials in Nye County, Nevada, OK'd an emergency order in preparation.
LAS VEGAS — For the second time this month, commissioners in a rural Nevada county have pre-signed an emergency declaration ahead of the"Storm Area 51" event that's drawn more than 2 million RSVPs on Facebook.
Commissioner John Koenig confirmed the board passed the pre-emptive declaration, but he declined to comment, directing all questions to spokesman Arnold Knightly.California resident Matty Roberts created the event – called"Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us" – in June after listening to an episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast. The tongue-in-cheek event scheduled for Sept. 20 quickly generated millions of accepted invitations.
The actual Area 51 site is a classified military facility set inside a test and training range roughly the size of Connecticut. Intrigue surrounding the impenetrable desert compound for decades has fueled conspiracy theories and local lore about what exactly goes on there. McAndrews didn't specify any security plans at the base, but she did warn those thinking of entering the area.
