Were you there when that EF-5 leveled Andover Kansas in 1991?,they recently in 2022 had an EF-3, but I'm from Wisconsin and my city was taken by surprise on April 4th 1981,it hit after midnight,it wasn't seen on radar very few seen it,it killed a few, injured a lot,caused 20 million in damage had over 200MPH winds,was rated EF-4 and the tornado was anticyclonic
I notice when the sirens shut down, expect destruction withinn 5-10 minutes. SO much better than it being in your back yard like most people grew up with.
How they typically do it in my area is they sound the sirens for a good 5-8 minutes and then unless a warning is reissued, expanded, or continues they’ll just leave it be. My city is also on a citywide system and there have been many times where I’m nowhere close to being in the warning but the sirens near my house go off.
@@bdcoley3 Correct, it is a citywide system, Broken Arrow emergency management activates them for three minutes once the warning is issued, then they shut off for 10 minutes, and reactivate, they repeat this until the warning expires.
we are in fort worth tx, and when that siren went off this past spring at like midnight we almost had a heart attack....cant see anything and you are jolted awake...its a eerie sound to be awakened by
Great footage!! This was a really fun video.. I kinda get what it feels like when tornado sirens go off.. I live in Oregon so we don't get them.. We have had about 5 small tornadoes in my many years but, I haven't seen one or live close to where they were.. Thank goodness you guy's didn't get a tornado.. Thanks.. ⚡🤗🌪️
you're very lucky, I live right in tornado alley and in my area we get like like maybe 10 tornado warnings (5 each spring and fall) a year. Anytime I hear the tornado siren I get filled with so much anxiety even if they're just testing it
I live in Michigan and the last time I got a tornado warning was 6/20/21 (Almost 2 years ago from now) And that tornado was rated an F2 or an F3 It was approximately 15 miles from where I live so nothing much happened in my area
Those sirens aren’t called Air Raid Sirens it’s either “Outdoor Warning Siren” or what most people refer them as “Tornado Sirens”. They’re still new yes, they’re all now digitally used. Most of the analog sirens of what I call them Whelens as that the the actual name of those sirens, most of the analog ones were replaced. Most of Oklahoma however wasn’t all Whelen sirens, it was a mix of sirens that were installed as both Cold War & Weather Alert siren around the 70’s & 80’s. I mean they go way back but they were repurposed as Weather Alert sirens in the 70’s.
That siren is a willing vortex Right up the street from my house in Macon Georgia there is one. We have 56 sirens here in our area. I am also a blind weather forecaster on the radio down here. I even have friends who work at KRMG in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Keep up the great work.
Severe thunderstorm warning, tornado warning and tornado sirens. Wow. Here in Toronto Canada we're lucky if we get a drop of rain all summer. We just had a rainfall warning this morning but it rained normally. The warning did continue till late afternoon but didn't see a drop within that time. Then the warning ended. Really? What kind of a warning was that? What you guys get those are real storms. But in winter here, even if it's not in the forecast it will still snow. I would love to see a severe thunderstorm for once here in Toronto but nothing happens. Back in the day yes we used to get them but for the last 10 years I don't know what happened. To see a good thunderstorm I would have to go on RUclips and that's how I found this video. Loving it.
You know, Tulsa and the surrounding area isn't actually that flat. There's lots of hills. But we're still beholden to the unique weather, because this is the place the north winds, the south winds, and the southwest winds collide. Much respect to you and whatever natural phenomena you might deal with, too!
@@athenaflores5851 Neither of those sirens are air raid sirens, the first siren that sounds is one of Tulsa’s Whelen WPS 2910’s, the second one is Broken Arrows Whelen WPS 4004’s.
Okay, but-and I say this as someone from an area that gets its fair share of tornado warnings-if you live in Oklahoma, is a tornado warning ever REALLY unexpected? Really? 😉🤣Great vid though, my guy.
Hey idiot, weather or not sirens scare people, their made to warn people of danger, thousands of lives have been saved since the sirens were put into place
In south carolina we get heavy rain storms multiple times almost every month. *including tornadoes hurricanes etc*
That's eerie freaking sound that sends chills up my spin. That and the EAS, scary.
It jolts me every time if I don’t catch it come across NWS Chat or see it coming on radar.
@@bdcoley3 hi
@@bdcoley3 we had our first tornado in portage mi I never been in one I was scared to def
I grew up in Kansas and when I was 15 we had a EF5 wider that the town itself 95% of the town was destroyed
Greensburg I presume?
Yes

Geez, I used to live in Kansas so tornados I have known since birth. I don't think we ever gotten that strong of a tornado.

4:05 for anyone wondering that was a whelen wps 2910.
8:12 That siren closer to them was a whelen wps 4004.
Wrong on both, the 4:05 is a whelen wps 2910, and the 8:12 is a whelen wps 4004.
@@OklahomaStateSirens O thanks
@TheRibsRibs_👍
8:25 That harmony, though. I’m moving back to Ohio soon, and I am not ready to deal with tornado siren regulations again. Absolutely horrifying!
You sure?

They have an air raid setting but the ones in my town rotate to disperse the sound
