[JKSK8ERLIVE]

does NYC even have tornado sirens?

[Ecw4Lyfe]

@JKSK8ERLIVE No but with the way the weather has been between last year and the beginning of this year. I believe tornado sirens should be recommended. Already had 3 tornado touchdowns last year thankfully from the EF scale of EF0 - EF1, which they're weak ones.

@Ecw4Lyfe yeah NYC should at least have sirens even after what happened on 9/11 for terrorism/ air raid/ and nuclear, etc thats whats OWS (Outdoor Warning Sirens) are for but different places use them for diff purposes some use them for tornadoes, some for volunteer fire calls, some for tsunamis (Hawaii), and even prisons have them we have 112 located throughout the city

@Ecw4Lyfe i myself never seen a tornado but ive seen massive menacing funnels and landspots forming over my house found out it was nit that close than i thought but one time last summer i saw4 funnel clouds/ shelf clouds lowering at one time in Chicago but they dissipated luckily

[JKSK8ERLIVE]

@Ecw4Lyfe yeah cuz in Chicago we have many active tornado sirens weve had a couple close calls these past summers 4-5 times Downtown Chicago almost had a major twister but it was about 15- 20 miles to the south it was an EF3 , and many other times rotating tornadic super cells barreled through teh Chicagoland area i live about 10 miles away from Downtown we usually see them put down 2-3 weak F1s out side of downtown but nothing significant Chicagos had weak tornados b4 but in more residential sp
