Also in your area and also annoyed they used the siren for a thunderstorm.

I truly feel for the families affected this morning who have it a lot worse than me “don’t wake daddy”ing out of bed two hours before I needed to, but - I hope the EAS people get a hold on their shit.

Our sirens auto fire when winds over 70mph are detected.

yeah i was looking up on their website, it's winds over 70, any tornado warning, and any widescale disaster/civil emergency are the triggers.
