I remember a Friday night during the Cuban Missal Crisis when the sirens went off. Very scary since we lived in an expected target area. They still give me the chills sometimes.
I remember in the late 60s when I was young, we lived near a siren in Minnetonka and I used to take my dad's shortwave headset and cover my ears during the monthly tests!
Even though tornado sirens are a great resource… it’s really meant for people outdoors. Have multiple ways of getting alerts… for example: NOAA Weather Radio, Phones, weather apps, local media, etc. so when a tornado warning is issued, you still get an alert and you can take shelter! Every home, business & school should have a NOAA Weather Radio, the more weather radios out there in homes, businesses & schools… the more lives we can save
Agreed 💯 . It's not all that expensive to get apps n such for phones..I use a weather radar app for my storm spotter activities on top of NOAA weather radio on my scanner.
What they don't know is that first shot of the siren sounding had a second one in it. that rocket-shaped thing on the tower itself is another siren that was probably replaced
When I activated the sirens in Elmore with the weather warn software, the system failed to send data to the DTMF encoders, so I had to override the system.
A growl is basically just turning it on for a second. Basically a very short test for repairs and stuff so the people nearby don't have to hear a loud siren blasting. Example of a growl: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B27Kjs19f-c.html
I’m been there is 20 sirens everywhere there’s like an I saw this one and could show you the video but I don’t I forgot with a channel name is and Thunderbolt siren and went for a really long and it was for no emergency
I know I'm late but it depends on what the city picks however the most common is: Hi-Low (or really any fast paste tone) = fire or jailbreak and stuff like that. and usually the steady tones are for the weather.
IM FRM MINNESOTA AN THAT NVR HAPPENS UNLESS ITS NECESSARY FRFR IM CONCERNED TO BE HONEST MY LUVS BUT I GUESS WE GOTTA GO WIT IT BUT BE BLESSED AN LUV U ALL...
