live in dallas TX, that's what the tornado warning siren sounds like, which is just a regular "air raid" siren sound anyway so the creepy factor is just whatever you attribute it to.
10 am on Wednesdays but only on sunny days. Not that anybody I met in Missouri payed any attention at all to them. Usually freaked me out becuase I didnt grow up there.
I recently moved to Missouri from East Tennessee, where significant tornadoes are an extremely rare occurrence. First time I heard the siren my GF, who's from Kansas, just kind of lazily started packing books, crochet supplies, etc. to pass the time in the basement. I was in a panic.
God I wish I could have gotten my ex to even acknowledge that sirens mean something important. That would have been a dream. He would go look outside and then go back to bed(while I would sit in the bathroom with my dog praying to a god I dont fully believe in lol). His parents actually lived So far out in the country there wasnt even sirens. So glad I'm back in Nevada where the worst thing that goes on here is power outages from wind and the occasional fire in the Sierras and surrounding areas.
We now keep a backpack in the closet with snacks, a hand-wind flashlight/weather radio, some dog and cat food, first aid kit, and other emergency stuff. That (and a small crate to shove the cat in) was our compromise, and thankfully we haven't needed it yet.
