I Never Really Get Used To The Storm Sirens Being Tested At Noon On Saturdays…

I know what they are doing after they start sounding. And it’s a good thing, there was a small tornado about 12 miles north of here on November 3rd. It’s on the way to when I go to my doctors in Oklahoma City. But I forget for some reason and see the damaged (destroyed) homes and other buildings. Makes me feel stressed each time. I don’t know why they haven’t gotten started removing the damaged homes yet, it’s been 3 months, maybe waiting for insurance to payout or something.

I can understand that. When I was a kid in school, they used to test the air raid sirens on the last Friday of the month. I knew it was just a test, but it still made me nervous.

@BizSuitStacy There is an old Glenn Ford narrated 1950's documentary about Portland's air raid system, it's pretty cool...[media=https://youtu.be/KPy6EhKg2vw]
