Anybody outside of the Midwest have tornado sirens?

2020-01-08 at 1:30 AM UTCEvery 1st Tuesday of the month they go off here, at precisely 10am. Just to test them.
It absolutely scares the living shit out of anyone visiting. I've only heard them be used for a tornado once in my life and the worst that happened is a trampoline wrapped around a tree outside my school.
I'm wondering if anyone else has something similar where they live? -

Try living just off of several large Military bases during the Reagan cold years in California. where they were strictly for Air Raides of incoming nukes.
they just test them here and there. no pattern just randomly. it was up to you to find shelter until it was done and an announcement would say "This is just a test"
it's like "Whats the fucking point.. everyone became immune to it. we had one on the corner where I lived. they were 10 times louder than the ones they set off for lunchtime at 12 everyday. -

2020-01-08 at 1:42 AM UTCThe last time we almost had a tornado though I froze bc my Dad was on the phone yelling at me to do one thing and my bf was yelling at me to do another so I just stood there looking at the sky. Almôst died. Men.

The point is they do it at the same time every day so you know that if you hear it any other time it's the real deal. So that's why if there is a tornado here at 10am on the first Tuesday of a month, we're all fucked.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

I get what you're saying .. they need to change it out. yet if it happens at that very moment there should be a secondary chirp chirp to go with it. so you know OK this is real.
but during the cold war, they didn't adjust the disciple range because peoples children my be too sensitive by being exposed to 130 plus disciples.
thing was fucking loud that you could feel it's roar in your chest like when a Lion roars near you. verbirated in your chest. any louder the fucking thin probably could of stopped a pacemaker
it's was kind of cool looking back.. like you and your friends wouldn't take cover.. you would just be like "oh come on.. do it.. DO IT... DO IT, Brezhnev"
Leonid Brezhnev days
cuz it was all about this

2020-01-08 at 2:58 AM UTCSame here G, but ours is every Weds at noon. This past summer we had the sirens go off about 4 or 5 times due to tornados in my county. One of them was somewhat close, but the others were in different areas of the county. I live on a county line.

County Lines may have literally been split by geological etches from a series of tornadoes over past centuries. it literally might just make a 90 degree cut and move away from your location because of some anomaly of updrafts and such.
I know.. i don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. continue on -

2020-01-08 at 2:11 PM UTCThere's a nuclear power plant not far from here so we have a siren for that. One of my old friends had a constant fear of it.

2020-01-08 at 2:13 PM UTCIt's annoying when the battery on the smoke alarm goes on the fritz too, I have high ceilings and often too lazy to break out the step ladder...
