Whether it's a test or the real thing, many rely on the sirens to warn them. So how are they actually triggered? Heather Brown finds out.

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 wonder who they send out to get these siren videos, very cool to see such a variety on a news network like this.

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!

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

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.

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.

I wonder what that "Growl" one sounds like.

@WolfieMar 2 жыл бұрын

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJhnfs2klp_KXZc.html

theres a UPS on the PC that powers the WeatherWarn system

@brodie_love Жыл бұрын

Newer sirens have a battery backup system, so in case the power system goes out, the batteries in the siren are able to power the siren itself.

It starts when storm chasers see trouble & we call it in to the NWS. Aka... we get their attention.
