Tornado Sirens--Update
I was hoping for more on how the siren operates: click here
“Additionally, Kenosha County operates and maintains the outdoor warning sirens located throughout the County. The sirens are sounded when the National Weather Service issues a“Tornado Warning” or a “Severe Thunderstorm Warning with Hurricane Force Winds.” The sirens are an outdoor warning device meant to be heard outdoors or while in a vehicle; sirens are not meant to be heard indoors! All citizens are asked to help maintain the sirens, by “Adopting a Siren” and notifying Kenosha County Emergency Management at 262-605-7900, when a siren doesn’t sound. Kenosha County tests its outdoor warning sirens the third Saturday of each month at 10:30 a.m.”
I'm going to ask Kenosha News do a story on siren operation as they only go off to warn but may still be under warning and no "all clear" is sounded.
