Hunkered down at The Yard in Alton!
Just experienced my first Iowa tornado sirens!

Pro tip, In Iowa sirens mean go out and see if you can spot the tornado.
We probably frequented the old DD around the same time, I left the area about 16-17 years ago.
Use to hit DD up when Navarrette's Mexican food came to town - think it was Wednesday nights once a month
(With beer in hand is certainly acceptable etiquette.)
You have to go through 20-30 tornado warnings before you get good at actually spotting them.
Only a few more sirens before you start to complain about emergency management being too trigger happy with the sirens
something something bAcK iN mY dAy
yeah people died more. I prefer to die from microplastics being stuck in my colon rather than a flash flood.
I think its good to warn people for things like this. It just becomes and issue if there are too many warnings from the siren, people start to become confused about what the siren is for.
I'm fine with 2 different sirens for high wind vs tornado. But if the sirens went off, I'd never know they were for flash flood and its strange to expect people to know that. Maybe they have been trying to do a preventative education, idk.
I've boinked alotta ladies pal! If I never seen a boob how would I know it feels like a bag of sand? HUH?!?
It's true, but back then it was an excuse to go to the bar and eat greasy "Mexican" food.
My take is that if you set sirens off for high winds, it loses its purpose like a boy crying wolf. Sirens should be for “don’t fuk around a tornado is up in your shit right now”.
