Ah the glory of the month's first Wednesday and the testing of the emergency sirens aka the "tornado sirens". They are slightly staggered for easier monitoring purposes (I assume that's why) so it's interesting to hear nearby ones power down and ones that are further away ramp up. As a person who grew up in Oklahoma this was a rather feared sound, so there is a nostalgic familiarity coupled with remembered fright whenever I hear them.
