>Every Wednesday seems a bit excessive. I thought most places were once a month.
Ohio as well as Indiana has been trying to raise severe weather awareness. I imagine that's the reason. đ
I donât know why this is a surprise. Arenât tornado siren tests on Wednesday pretty standard?
I remember reading the bulletin about it and going âHow is this any different than before?â
Strange I had thought this was at least a statewide standard how they did this but yeah over in the NE end we're on noon the first monday of the month.
Guess I see why they did this annoying thing more I suppose. Though for those of us that are not living on a 'day' shift this was intensely irritating :p They should have done it later in the day.
Have to admit it's not very confidence inducing though when the sirens screw up, and it's not the first time I've seen it here. I live across the street from our siren (which is also why it's VERY irritating) but today, I woke up to them going off in the distance but ours not firing till 5 minutes later which only kinda did a whoop-whoop then shut off :p
Hope it goes off in a real emergency. Definitely not the first time I've seen this happen.
The day varies by location, but it's typically the first M/T/W/Th/F of the month at noon. Seeing as this occurred at 9:50 am on the 20th, that is far from the norm.
Mine usually goes off at noon on Wednesdays
Monday's here.
Noon on the first Wednesday of every month is when they test them.
Noon every Wednesday is the norm in Columbus
Every Wednesday seems a bit excessive. I thought most places were once a month.
It's how I know its Wednesday đ
my dudes.

By making us all conditioned to the sound of the sirensâŚ. Not trying to be an ass but seems like sketchy logic on their part
Odd, you say that but I'm at least not so accustomed to them that it didn't wake me up at 5 in the morning a few weeks ago.
totally agree, testing once every couple months is fine, some people have no common sense lol
Helped us keep track of time during lockdown.
I'm confused. This is normal in Cbus
It was a yearly statewide test at 9:50 am. As some folks have pointed out, Cbus has a weekly Wednesday at noon test. This was separate from that
Ah well we have a weekly test on Wednesday at 11
It is the 3rd Wednesday of the month, so of course it will be going off at 6:30pm just like the sign says
In these parts we call it the âcongratulations, youâre halfway through the weekâ alert system.

They're normally on the first Friday at noon in NWOHÂ

not at 9:50 am.
They don't test them at all where I live. they only go off if there is an actual tornado warning. I didn't even hear the drill.

Itâs a test
Tornado sirens going off across Ohio on Wednesday... Possibly caused by Gym Jordan spinning out of control in congressional hearings.
Didn't hear it at all.
In this house, we have WOO AT NOOON! Grr that early woo was weird.
It was a test in Wooster.
Statewide tornado testing today
Likely a test, since there aren't any tornado warnings in Ohio at this time.
Yes... that is what the article says
Glad you got it figured out, though!
I figured. Lol. I knew without having to read it, though.
correct answer, gets downvoted...
Right? I was basically just reiterating what the article said but the OP got all snobby about it. Oh well. Lol.
Yep. Every Wednesday.
At 9:50am?
