Wildwood residents upset about new siren.

Maybe they would prefer a Federal MOD6048 in Life Savers colors?

What a bunch of crybabies...If a killer tornado tears through their neighborhood, and that siren is either moved or completely shut down, I'd almost be willing to bet that those same people would likely be the first to complain that they didn't hear the siren.

Of course. Wouldn't want their "cute little houses" destroyed by big ugly tornadoes now would we?

Well, they just might to get to feel the full wrath of that siren Friday night! We're suspossedly getting some bad weather.

No, they won't hear it for a few months yet. From what I've read, the new sirens are not operational yet and won't be until late August. There are still several sirens that haven't been installed yet, and supposedly all will be installed by the end of June.

"an unwanted new neighbor has many worried about their safety, home values, and the overall appearance." Here in my town, theirs one basically in someones frontyard, and they haven't complained. Its like there taking the siren as a threat!

I was laughing reading the comments from locals under the article. Apparently most people feel the way they do.

Idiots, all of them! Those whelen Omnis have to be the sleekest looking sirens I have ever seen in all my years. I mean really, it looks like a somesort of light, doesn't it? Maybe the county should go stick up a rusty old thunderbolt with the paint peeling, just to piss them off

An the thunderbolt would be MUCH LOUDER to their sensitive ears as well.

I am a snobby affluent person and I think cell towers are much worse to look at! Sirens are interesting.

AT&T purchased a half acre of land from us and installed a cell phone tower in our back yard, less than 300 feet from our home. Trust me, I know how you feel.

It is!, those things attract tornadoes an nuclear missiles!!!
