My friend of 40+ yrs and I, got into it last night over this. Tornado warning sirens going off in every city because of some wind and rain, all the drama on the news..."Hold on, we have someone on the phone who MIGHT have been hit by a rain drop!". Even heard the weather man say they are NOT tornado warning sirens anymore. They are Bad weather alert sirens, meant to make you go in and tune into **insert news channel here** for all the latest sensationalism. I told him it's like the little boy who cried wolf. Every time the wind/rain picks up, they blast the sirens. People become immune to it all after the 80th time they hear it and nothing happens. What happens when a REAL tornado comes through and wipes part of a city off the map and people really die? And why, because we blast the sirens every time a bird farts.
