I believe we had a thread for this last year, but didnt see one this year, so I figured I'd go for it.

Post your state's info for this year's Statewide Tornado Drill/SWAW Testing.

Heres the info for Michigan/Oakland County (where I live):

Oakland County, MI Siren Test Schedule

They're cancelling the 7th of April (first Saturday test), since the SWAW Testing will be done on the 18th of April (which is a Wednesday), at 1pm.

Anybody know if Wayne County participates in SWAW testing?? I figure now that Detroit's siren system is somewhat up & running, maybe they'll participate in the drill this year.

Ohio's is March 28th at 9:50am

However, Hamilton County will not be sounding their sirens because it's not a normal test day and they wouldn't want to confuse/frighten the poor citizens... :roll:

I don't know if Butler, Clermont or Warren counties will be participating in the drill.

SWAW for Oklahoma is Feb. 19-25, 2012, but no drill. Of all states, we are the one without one. Go figure.
