Tornado Sirens

July 29, 2021 4:58 PM

Last night, we in Madison experienced some pretty extreme weather. Intense rain, winds, and lightning were present, and led to dangerous situations across the city. After seeing my own social media feed, it became apparent that MANY of us rely on tornado sirens to alert us to dangerous weather.

I know that I personally relied on sirens to alert me, and especially to wake me up at night in case of dangerous weather. Last night, I learned that sirens are not designed to alert people indoors, and especially not designed to wake sleeping people.

Please consider getting a weather radio, as well as an app on your phone that will alert you to dangerous conditions.

Please check out this article on channel3000.com to hear more. 

I am not endorsing any weather app or radio here. Please research as to what radio or app will work the best for you

Please constinue to be safe, as we continue to navigate potential severe weather!
