WHEN YOU HEAR SIRENS
If you hear sirens, go inside and check your local weather. Sirens are meant to be an outdoor warning system, to be weather aware in your home - get a NOAA weather all hazards radio. These radios are like a smoke detector for fire, they will wake you when a warning is issued for your area.

Wind exceeding 70 miles per hour, golf ball size or larger hail, and flash flooding
