Did We Get Our Emergency Sirens Wednesday?

I thought there was to be a statewide test of weather/emergency sirens yesterday. Did anyone hear them?

Nope. The weather was bad so they decided not to alarm people and called it off.

The monthly siren test is conducted at Noon on the first Friday of each month.

The National Weather Service conducts a weekly weather radio alarm test on Wednesdays, I think.

Tests are canceled if severe weather is present.

Maybe something else was scheduled for yesterday that was different from the above.

Yes, I heard on WTVG that the numerous Ohio tornado watches meant a cancellation of the planned statewide tornado siren tests.

Irony...

Ironic. Thanks.
