Here's a video I made after lunch today.

I have several means of receiving weather warnings, but once again, I found out about today's tornado warning from the sirens. This should make the county commissioners more aware of the real need we have in Delaware County for sirens.

I'm suprised nobody went running. I could hear locomotives on a freight train pulling their guts out in that video

Is the lowest pitched siren a 4004? It's sounding at 450 HZ. I haven't heard very many 4004's that sounded at that pitch.

I was in Dublin today. Their siren system worked perfectly.

It was my first indication of a warning. In fact, the Dublin sirens went off before the local news media reported it on their web sites.

However, I guess Franklin County sounded their sirens 8 minutes after the warning was issued.

All in all, I was very impressed.

So does Franklin County sound their sirens only once during a tornado warning, or intermittenly? One way to recive weather notifications fast is from TWC. They usually pop up on my Weather Channel 1-2 minutes before my WR goes off.
