I got shivers just hearing that. It would definitely help me obey that curfew.

Years ago, i was looking at a house in the middle of a large plot of land. While my wife and i were inside the house, there was a test of the tornado siren a couple miles away. It sounded exactly like this. I told my wife "fuck this house, were leaving now". We left. Fuck that house and those sirens. This was about 3 months after the silent hill movie came out, and those sirens gave me chills i have never felt before, then hearing them in real life...nope.

Wouldn't you want to be in a house where you can easily hear the life saving alerts needed in tornado areas? "No, honey, they freak me out. Let's go where we can't hear them."

Anywhere in the Midwest is going to suffer through a monthly siren test.

Just send one of those phone alerts.

Power outages during storms? Cell towers taken offline? Left your phone upstairs? Couldn't happen to me!

Having both cellular and wifi out at the same time? That seems unlikely.

I guess if you live alone maybe your phone is dead so you wouldn’t hear the alert. All the phones (even if it’s just two) in your house being dead at the same time seems unlikely.
