Sorry about the shakiness of the video. I was running late and didn't have time to set-up my camera, so this video was recorded with my cellphone.
I initially wasn't going to go out to the test today as it was very cloudy and I thought the county wasn't going to test. However, just 10 minutes before the test, I heard over Discord from AL Storm Tracker that the sirens were going to be testing today. So I rushed out to the siren as quickly as I could, getting the car turned off just as the siren started. Fortunately, I had the bright idea of starting a recording on my cellphone while I was still driving out there at about 11:58. I also wasn't helped by the fact that I had accidentally driven past the siren while trying to get to it. Other than that though, it was a pretty standard test.
Madison County, AL tests on the first Wednesday of every month, weather permitting.
