Georgia SWA Tornado Drill: 560 Hz Whelen WPS 2810 - Columbus, GA 2/10/17

The week of February 6 - 10 was Georgia's Sever Weather Awareness week. On Wednesday a tornado drill was scheduled to be conducted at 9:00 AM, however due to the weather in the state GEMA and Homeland Security pushed it back to that Friday.
The Drill in Columbus consisted of a mock tornado warning at 9:00AM with 2 voice announcements and 2 minutes of alert tone and an all clear at 9:15 with 2 voice announcements and 15 seconds of air horn.
I have some bonus footage towards the end of the video. Back in 2015 this siren was hit by lightning and had its controls replaced. I took the videos of the test I recorded with the siren on its old and new controllers and meshed them together for a comparison of how different it sounds now.

In Indianapolis Indiana, where basically I live in, we only have Federal Signal sirens that actually spin when they go off and they are mechanical instead of electronic.

Funny how it's a clear day and there is a tornado warning

Isn’t it obvious that it’s just a drill people would know if they hear it I would be a drill or a malfunction

It's been confirmed that Pickens County didn't test for this, sadly.

[@Keaton0801]

Cherokee county where I live did not activate the sirens.

What is the third siren for? I know the steady tone is for tornadoes, and the high-lows are for attack warnings. But what is the deep rumbling one for?
