....HEY...it's hell out the countryside too..!!...tree frogs drive me nuts...can't hear yourself think...:)...
...but before that...I grew up...with a siren...that said .."you have 15 minutes to live"....THIS IS ONLY A TEST....
Damn, nuke sirens? That would be scary. We just have tornado sirens here in KCMO. They test them like the first thursday of every month and my dogs go crazy and howl at them.
yeah actually i do... we have sirens for when exxon does their weekly 'release' i don'tw ork there, so i don't quite know what is released... but they're loud as fuck (i live miles upon miles upon miles from them and can still hear them if i don't have the tv on....) and sound about like a nuke siren...
i never understood the purpose of those sirens tho... if you keep testing htem, eventually people are going to get used to them and not pay any attention to them.. so wouldn't that kinda defeat the purpose... i mean imagine a nuclear melt down is happening and for once they blare them in an emergency... what is nearly everyone going to think? lol... "just another test" no one's really going to pay much attention to it...
so i don't get the point in having those sirens if you're going to continually test them and subject the public to hearing them... eventually everyone's gonna get used to them and pay them no mind...
I remember, as a kid (long time ago), they blew those sirens off when they had air-raid drills - and everybody had get off the street. We'd go in stores, or wherever was closest. People with an underground air raid shelter had the best hideouts. Some buildings still say where the shelter is - usually in the basement. There were air-raid civil defense volunteers also, checking the areas out.
They also made us hide under the desks at school - in case the Russians dropped an atomic bomb on us.
Check out this monster siren from Chrysler - it's the type that was used in large cities: It's 3 tons, 30,000 Watts, with a 4 Mile Range
