The State Fair Park P-50 failed to activate, but other sirens in Milwaukee, Wauwatosa and West Allis can be heard. Also, Elm Grove, WI's T-121's are heard testing after Milwaukee County's test ends.

Only a portion of Milwaukee County's Sirens activated for this test. The reaons behind this particular test are unknown, but Milwaukee County EM now has the option to activate sirens in specific areas as opposed to the eitire system. It seemed to be only sirens in the far Western portion of the county that were activated for this test. I was rather disappointed, myself.

Shame that the P-50 didn't go off. Nice system recording, though.

This is the State Fair siren it might be locked out for Tests and only sounded for actual Tornado Warnings

It sounds like this siren actually has a problem. See CBS 58's story on it:

Hopefully Milwaukee County will get the system back up and running 100% soon.
