My honest opinion is that the fact these cities have little to no sirens is absolutely ridiculous especially being in Tornado Alley. Just because it's a small city doesnt necessarily mean it shouldnt have outdoor warning sirens. Gunter is just getting started by replacing their only Thunderbolt, which was their only siren for a while with T128's and T135 AC/DCs, some real sirens that will really give warning. Obviously the t-bolt did its job but it was practically crying for help every time it sounded. Towns like Valley View and Gainesville need to either invest in an outdoor warning system or just reactivate what they already have. It may seem unnecessary but one day there might be a massive tornado on the ground heading for those cities and the worst case scenario will be true, and if there are no active sirens then there's no warning. Even Dallas' old decommissioned Thunderbolt sirens are still activated by the fire department. I'm sure that if a massive tornado hits Dallas directly, some Thunderbolts could be activated manually.

Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear in life? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
