I remember trying to explain that to Yuri a while back. Another interesting story about that: Taking the infomation I just mentioned and applying it here. I worked the night shift at IU Med Center for almost the whole time I lived in Indy and I recall this one Friday I went home, went to sleep around 9am like usual. A couple hours later I woke up because the rain was pouding really hard against my window, I went to the bathroom and then went back to bed, I only vaguely recall hearing the sirens going off, but looked at the clock and saw it was 11--no big deal, they're just testing. So I head back to sleep only to wake up a couple hours later to my friend leaving a message on my machine saying, " Hey, just checking to make sure you're alright since a tornado went through your area and whatnot. Call me back." In Indy they do those siren tests every Friday at 11am. I remember trying to explain that to Yuri a while back.

I don't manufacture warning sirens, or sell them. But I'd bet my favorite shirt that they build them such that they will NEVER EVER EVER FAIL. I am sure we have sirens in the big city too, but I can't say for sure because they NEVER test them. I think the nonstop tests are a strictly small town phenomenon. This may be because it's much, much more likely you'll be shot in the head than die from a failed warning siren. Ricky,
