I have always believed this downtown tower to be the source of the every-other-Friday-at-11-a.m. siren test I can faintly hear from my home. This, if it is the siren, is the only such siren in this whole county. So, if it sounds to warn of a tornado...a very limited number of folks are going to hear it. Spring in the Midwest....I don't know that I will ever get used to the tornado watches and warnings and be able to take them in my stride as most of those here seem to do.

Warning Siren?

We have a similar siren here where I live but our siren is not as pretty as your siren. We hear our siren the first Monday of every month. It got stuck once and caused a kind of riot with city workers looking for a kill switch.
Hi, Zann, from Nelson, New Zealand.
A friend just posted me an article in a New Zealand newspaper about the tree cosies in Columbus, Indiana. I checked the Google Map and though you may or may not be too far from there.
Have you seen them?

Happy shooting.
