The National Weather Service said that a lot of areas lost power due to storms earlier in the day. Maybe that was the case in Rainsville. Apparently, these sirens don't have a backup power source.
@HarryBalszak Actually they'res a huge diesel gen. in the parking lot of the co-op. It's the backup for the phone and emergency services? The siren is also in the parking lot. I always hear it at home during tests. Didnt hear the warning when the tornado hit either.
