Sirens tested at 4 in the morning today!

[Joey P 3]

Well unfortunately i woke up to the testing of our towns sirens at 4 in the morning! I was kind of scared because why would they be testing at this time!? right? reason: my town is certainly strange with their testing. It was tested 5 times within 2 hours, so i barely got to sleep lol. I also obviously couldn't record them due to the time of day, so sorry about that

How do you figure it was a test? The EMA people would have to be out of their minds. It had to be an accidental activation or something.

[Joey P 3]

I asked about it...they've done it before, as well as testing around midnight, as well as while we were in school

[Joey P 3]

actually come to think of it they did use voice and announce it was a test

[Jim_Ferer]

Wow. That's a totally new one on me. Just when you think you've heard it all...

[Joey P 3]

yeah...and also, i've mentioned before, they use random tones, they don't just use wail for tests, or whoop, or hi lo, it'll be 1, 2, 3, or 4, and never the same ones, they've had the sirens for 8 years now, i don't think they need to play with the tones to see how each one sounds now

Thats kinda cool really, I love it when stuff like that happens.

[Joey P 3]

[CABLEVision]

Agreed lol, what type of sirens does your towns system have?

We have 6 WPS 2805s...and u know what, all that bad talk about the whelens, i can here every single one of them when they go off in town very clearly, and my town is quite large...I personally love them
