A lot of tornado siren systems are county wide systems, despite the fact that tornado warnings are polygons and don’t typically include a whole county. Those old school siren systems sound if any part of the county is under a warning. That’s how NOAA weather radio still is, too.

Even the ones that are supposed to be warning area specific frick up more often than not. I don't know what/where the disconnect is.

Yea it's not at all unusual for sirens in the whole county to go off in these situations

Feel like we are dodging a bit of a bullet tonight. High of 81 in March and storm system approaching......gonna be some strong stuff but nothing crazy. Usually in Tennsippibama that spells trouble
