That may be but I’ve always found it curious why anyone would choose to rely on a siren like that when the cell phone option works well and the weather radio option is cheap and works damn near perfectly

Sirens are designed and meant to warn those outside. They work for that, but should never be relied on for your primary warning method.

It is raining it's arse off in Bunkie right now. My word.

They still do this? Wow.

Yup. Every day, at noon on the dot. I always know when it’s noon cause I’ll hear the sirens go off

God help us if we ever get a tornado at noon cause it will be ignored

Gonna be an interesting afternoon for a lot of folks today. Stay safe and good luck Baw and Bawettes

North of Vicksburg tornado on the ground

so, what time are we all gonna die today?

We had a lot of lightning and heavy rain overnight. I don't think the wind blew much. We never lost power. Still raining pretty hard but the severe stuff seems to have moved on past us.

Don’t see anything but it’s rocking right now

Action Jackson says it's been observed too

I'd be ready to hunker down on the North side of the polygon, too. There's a secondary rotation trying to form there, just outside the warning.

SPC Update...
