Seems unlikely considering the warning was pretty clear, but I guess it’s always possible.
I seem to remember hearing a news story a couple years ago about towns here in Kansas having outdated tornado warning systems. Would imagine a place like barnsdale could have the same issue.

thinking more on it I think one of the places they went to they literally had a person assigned to each siren that had to go out and turn a key to turn it on. I may be misremembering but that’s sticking out in my mind for some reason.

Topeka had the opposite problem last week. They sounded the sirens and then due to something in the software they couldn't turn them off when everything had passed by.
