Wait, you only just now heard one for the first time?

Yep. They don’t have tornado warning sirens in the Pacific Northwest, and you can’t really warn for earthquakes. I didn’t live on the coast, so I never heard tsunami sirens.

If there was a siren test here last month, I didn’t hear it. Before that, I was on the road.

I did not know that! I’ve always lived places where we actually need them for, well, tornado purposes and on a regular basis, so I didn’t even think about the PNW not using CD sirens for that. I kind of assumed that everywhere did!

Hehe nope! The tornadoes we got there were so puny and pathetic and sporadic, it wasn’t a big deal. The only places that had sirens were the coast, the nuclear power plants, and the Totally Not Dangerous At All weapons disposal sites. I didn’t live near any of those. Drove past them sometimes.
