[quote=Anonymous]I live in Nashville, tn, and we have sirens that are tested monthly. They are sounded 4-5 times a year, usually during the spring; however actual touchdowns are uncommon. The largest tornado I know of in middle TN was an EF3, and that was 15 years ago and not a long track. We do usually get a smaller tornado once a year. So, overall the risk is low, but just enough to have a really good warning system in place. When I lived in DC, it seemed that tornados were so rare (and if they do happen, they are typically very small/low intensity) that it would be a real waste of resources to install a siren system. Anything approaching "severe storm" is always excessively hyped and gives people ample time to take cover.[/quote]
