Every first Tuesday of the month here in the Chicago metro area...

They test the tornado warning sirens. They've been doing it since I was a little kid (probably before I was even born) and it's nothing new, but I always have to check the weather when they do it in case it's not a drill. Lol.

They test it here every tuesday from early may to early october at 10am, or are supposed to, this morning was the first time they sounded ours since mid may, it's because the sirens scare the fuck out of the newly transplanted calis and east coasters.
