And the sirens are going off, screaming like a damn banshee. Round and round this megahorn spins as it tests out the local weather emergency system. And it’s loud. Which, I like! Sounds really neat as it winds down, as it lets out this long descending pitch in excess of a minute.
The fondest memories though go back to my days of elementary school. In third grade, the timing was such that our recess was held at 10am – which just happened to be when they sounded the horn. A group of us would gather as close as possible to the source, which happened to be on top of the school gym. And as that horn screamed out its false warnings, we scream out as loud as we could. One giant symphony of pure cacophony!
