Wait until you hear them at night. That's a whole new brand of scary. Back before the days of weather radar data at your fingertips, it was terrifying.

You sir, are not lying.  Living in “tornado alley” those things will scare the dog piss out of you.  Back then without the cell phones and weather at your fingertips, the nighttime sirens scared the living crap out of me.  Funny story, I was maybe 14 it was about 900pm.  I was in my bed watching tv. My mom yawned. But she dragged it out and almost had fun with it.  It sounded almost like the tornado siren.  I jumped out of bed so fast ran to my parents room faster than you can say “whatever the phrase is”.   They weren’t getting”jaggy with it” if that’s what you were thinking.  But we’ll all had our laughs.
