Siren testing set for Friday

Beginning this Friday, June 22, at noon the town sirens will be tested.

Through the summer, these sirens will be used to notify people of tornadoes. They will only sound if a tornado warning or actual tornado is in the area served by a siren.

Sirens are located at: Lane 12 south of town, 10th Street by Broadway and Warren and in Kirby. Each one will be run separately.

Sirens will not be sounded for storms, funnel clouds or tornadoes that do not threaten areas served by the sirens. A “hi-lo” siren will be the alert, and a steady tone will be used to give the all clear.
