Do you have tornado sirens in your area? (tornadoes, city, most)

[lepoisson]

I'm originally from Raleigh, NC and we did not have tornado sirens. I moved to Missouri for school and heard a tornado siren test for the first time and was really freaked out. My colleagues looked at me like I was crazy.

I live in Texas now and we have them here as well. But I'd imagine that most of the East Coast does not have them, as well as the West Coast.

Where do you live? Do you have tornado sirens in your area?

Nope, we have lightning sirens though.

Yes - tested every month...I think the second Tue. at 10am - except during winter. I'm in central IL where there are quite a few tornadoes every year.

I'm surprised that Florida of all places has to use sirens to warn people of lightning.


Answering the question the thread title asks - Yes, my area has tornado sirens.

NYC doesn't have them, which I believe is irresponsible considering tornadoes do happen here. I guess neighborhoods must be flattened first before the city takes tornadoes more seriously.

Long Island has them though.

[maggie2101]

Yes, we have them.

[srfoskey]

Yes, we have them in Norman, OK.
BTW, there's already a thread on this.
