Lenawee County didn't participate, but will conduct a complete siren test tomorrow night at 5:55 p.m. All sirens will run for three minutes. Might be a good day to see if the ACA Allertor siren still works?

Hmm. If I had time I'd drive to Blissfield for one of their Whelens. Never heard a true Whelen in person before.500AT wrote:Lenawee County didn't participate, but will conduct a complete siren test tomorrow night at 5:55 p.m. All sirens will run for three minutes.

I think you need to ask the question "who tested today". Cause I only found Oakland county and Frankenmuth tested today (which I recorded both).
I wouldn't have gone as far to say "Statewide drill"
Alot of counties didin't test, but will test on their normal once a month days, like macomb, wayne, genesee, calhoun, ingham, eaton, counties.
That is what I found on-line so far.

As usual, I can count on you for answers and info.
I figured Oakland County did, because they list it on their Homeland Securty page. Anyways, was just curious. Lame that nobody else does. But - thats life - as long as they're tested monthly, is whats important.[/url]Posted: Fri Apr 01, 2011 5:50 pm
Kalamazoo county will test tomorrow (Sat.) @ 1300hrs. They always test at 1300hrs. the first Saturday of the month, all year long.

I'm going to guess Jackson County Saturday at noon (normal test time). T-bolt downtown was still facing the same direction Wed. as it was after the March test. Jackson County has tested the sirens like clockwork all thru the winter. It's not a very long test about a minute of alert but at least here they are testing every month.
Looks like a lot of County EM's didn't want to run the sirens twice within the span of 4 days.

I just figured they'd cancel their 2nd of April test. Thats what Oakland County is doing. They always cancel the regular test, if the tornado drill falls too close to it.
