Nice variety of sirens in this video.... everything from ACA Allertors, to FS-2001-130s, to Whelens.... Even an ATI HPSS-16. There certainly needs to be a standard protocol in that area. Right now, there's the confusion, with OKC activating sirens by county, and other areas sounding them if the threat is just for them.
Still close enough to a Fed Sig 550AT to drive out on test day: First Friday in May - 7PM!

I thought OKC sounded their all sirens when ever the city limits of OKC was within a warning, no matter what county it was for. Hmm

Oklahoma City does sound all their sirens when the county goes under a tornado warning; however Oklahoma County does not. The smaller towns that reside in the county choose to sound their own alarms when a warning is issued.[/i]
