We were happily enjoying our hand-made ice-creams we just bought (2 for only $3!) from the convenience store off of highway 11....when the alarm started...it sounded much louder than in the video trust me

Interestingly enough nobody seemed to care...just went on about their business...

I guess is was just a routine test.

It felt pretty eerie to me so I took off as fast as I could :-)

  • Sorry we startled you, Elena. We regularly test our nuclear plant emergency sirens to ensure they're working correctly. Sirens are tested at 11:50 a.m. on the second Wednesday of the first month in each quarter. The tests last about 3 minutes. If it were a real emergency, the sirens would sound repeatedly.

    Mark your calendar to avoid afternoon ice cream outings on these 2010 dates: July 14 and October 13.

  • @macewindu064 Sometimes I don't use my brain, I guess I still win. Doesn't beat a dollar L:

  • @mymumissostupid

    2 for 3, jack.

    1.50 each

  • Damn you got 3 dollar ice cream? I know where you can get ice cream for $1!

  • that cant be good

  • If it was during the weekday around 11am or so , then it most likely was a test. Duke Power does a test once a month or so.

  • Was it noon when it went off?

  • I'm in corporate communications at Duke Energy and thought I was signed into our company account when I made the comment above. Sorry for any confusion! ~ Lisa
