Todays Tornado Warning (Franklin County)

Tue Aug 29, 2006 1:39 am

Today at around 6:47 PM EDT A Tornado Warning was issued. I had the task of calling people to let them know about the warning and that all went fine. All calls except 2 went through. Then I noticed that the sirens were not fuctioning properly so I ran to the nearest siren (3/4 mile away) and took some videos. The siren started working properly right as I got to it. Earlier instead of voice all you could hear was the DTMF Tones. No voice what so ever. I will upload videos shortly

From where I was I could actually hear the voice pretty clearly. I got some pretty decent video (As well as Fed3T22 calling me) of both the siren winding up for the first time, the third or forth time, as well as some of the voice I heard later on. I'll post them when I upload them on YouTube.

I guess there was a smal tornado sighted along with numerous funnel cloud sightings but nothing major at all. Here's the video I made of the voice.

Hmm. Only the second and third videos worked for me. Maybe the other three haven't been processed yet. I hope they get the problem solved before they have to use the sirens again.

Weird. All but the last 2 worked fine. The first one said it was unavailable and the second was apparently removed for violating Youtube's terms of service.

Nice vid, although some footage of the siren would be nice!! :lol:
Q2B or not 2B that is the question.
