"Unlearning Dangerous Southern Habits"

[Beck Water]

Could be titled "Unlearning Dangerous Midwestern Habits"
 

 

Also, I think other parts of the country may call them "Civil Defense Sirens"

They're "Tornado Sirens" around here.

Selected comments:

 

"Listen, I live in tornado alley. They go off so frequently you just gotta go outside to check the sky to see if there’s even any rain"

 

"Honey, I’m from Oklahoma. It’s the song of my people."

 

"It said tornado watch cause I’m supposed to watch it right?"

 

"add,"without my beer and lawn chair" at the end of that sentence and you have a deal!"

Never mind that...can I get me another suh-weet tea, and a few extra sugar packets?  About a dozen? 🤔

My grandparents had an air raid siren at the end of their driveway.  For about 5 minutes on the first Tuesday of every month, you would just forget trying to have any conversations or be able the hear the tv while it was tested.  

 

EDIT: Just looked on Google street view, it's still there...
