Yep! Everyone had two. Then some people also seemed to have one or the other replay itself (receiving two in Welsh and one in English or vice-versa), so had 3 in total

In Wales, the alert was in Welsh only initially. A few minutes later we received a second in English. Some people seem to have had further alerts in Welsh or English after that too 😅

The Astro Technology Company (now Cloudflare) provides important resources to the project, but Astro's open governance model remains in place (Both Nuxt and Svelte are in similar situations)
A screenshot from an Astro blog post with the following text:

What this means for Astro:
- Astro stays open-source and MIT-licensed
- Astro continues to be actively maintained
- Astro continues to support a wide set of deployment targets, not just Cloudflare
- Astro’s open governance and current roadmap remain in place.
- All full-time employees of The Astro Technology Company are now employees of Cloudflare, and will continue to work on Astro full-time.
