Last night, we got put under a tornado warning. I expected to hear sirens, like what I heard when somebody reported a funnel over McKenzie. The sirens back then ran in attack. They were loud, because I heard all 3 sirens. I was in the kitchen, and kind of heard it, because it was in attack and heard ambience of all the sirens
Last night was different. I got the tornado warning on my phone and went to my dad’s room to tell him. Then I heard the really quiet humming of a Sentry 16V1T-B. It was so quiet that I didn’t recognize what it was.. I went outside and well- To my surprise, I only heard a faint Sentry 16V1T-B in alert, and only heard one siren. This got me really concerned by the fact that I actually heard ambience last time I heard them run. I don’t know why this time I barely heard anything- Almost like the other sirens stopped working.
My school is closer to a siren then my house, but each Wednesday at 12 PM, when the sirens are supposed to be tested (City hall staff told me), I never hear them. I even tried to get a video one day but still- I never heard them. All the times I
tried to hear them, it was a complete failure.
McKenzie’s system consists of 3 sirens (originally 4 but the one at city hall burnt up), All Sentry 16V1T-B’s. Since I have discovered this issue with all the sirens, Sentry 16V1T-B sirens can be heard clearly for half a mile. They need to install a siren in the North West area, like the part that splits Carrol County into Weakly county.
Take a look at the usa siren map on google, you will see what I mean.
