One of the gravest dangers to the survival of our republic is an ignorant electorate routinely feeding at the trough of propaganda.   -- Locutus

Oh c'mon.  You don't think a giant vacuum sucking you up is weird?
Looks like I've come full circle.

I thought that was the response to the "how long" part of the question.  ;D

How much time elapses between the time the siren sounds and the time you actually get sucked into the giant vacuum cleaner?  :spooked:

It depends. When you typically hear the sirens it is an indication that a funnel cloud has been sighted and/or that a tornado is on the ground. It is a signal to get to safety, but there is really no way of knowing where the tornado is or if it is on the ground even.

Most folks listen to emergency weather transmissions or watch local radar / weather broadcasting to find out. Some of them get sucked up into the tornado because they didn't realize it was in their neck of the woods until it was too late to get to safety.

Where the hell are you anyway? Tornado alley or something? Our tests typically go off at Noon on Saturdays only. . . If you hear them any other time it is an indication of the above.

And every time I hear them go off I think of the Black Sabbath tune War Pigs. . .

pfft, I hear them on random days, the first time I notice them during the week, I was completely surprised.  Maybe you ought to come sit on my porch every day for a couple of weeks around noon.

Still in suburban Chicago (around the Tinley Park area).  I was informed that they test on the 1st of every month here.

If you find a product that YOU like and believe in....then SELLING is easy....and YOU are a person who can show passion...so find a way to be passionate about your product...and YOU WILL be successfull and have fun along the way.

Are you suggesting she host parties selling marital aids?   :icon_twisted:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

LOL, I actually went looking for something online that I could link to concerning those kinds of parties the day he posted that.

I'm sorry but I just am not passionate about TOYS!  Never have been. Since I don't really believe in them, I find it hard to work up any passion over the products.

They go off if a funnel cloud is sighted but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will touch ground.  Sometimes it might be right on you and others it is a strong possibility and you should take shelter just in case.  There are people out driving around reporting conditions in different areas on ham radios to stay abreast of what's happening and report to the NWS so they can warn people.

I know some folks living in that area, long time friends.  :smile: World Music Theater used to be out that way. . .
