They are going to do a national EAS test this week. Dress accordingly.

I read somewhere that the test is on national vodka day (or something similar), which seems appropriate.

Depends should be running ads every minutes!
There is a useful FB post going around warning people in domestic violence situations who have a burner phone to turn it off and wait to turn it back on until they are positive they are alone - cause they're going to go off too, and you don't want to alert your spouse or partner that you've found a way to communicate to the outside world without him (and sorry John - 90% of domestic violence involves men) knowing.

I remember being a kid and that super loud siren would go off. It was only about 200 yards from our apartment and sounded like it was outside the front door. It was on a schedule but it made me pee a little every time. Especially during the Reagan years 😂

I remember them from my childhood as well. But I don't remember them after I graduated HS, which when Ronnie came into power.

The rescue horn! When we first moved to Fredericksburg, they used a horn to alert volunteers of a rescue call. That fucker was loud, and went off at all hours! Plus, the local radio stations would announce it: “Attention all Fredericksburg Rescue Squad volunteers! The horn has sounded!”
