We get that emergency broadcasting thingy here, exactly as you describe it...and we also had it that way in Chicago...

But I never knew of any other city, which had regular weekly air sirens going off, so that everyone outside and inside would hear them...

Now I have to find out if those sirens still go off...

Dogs hated it most of all...you would hear the sirens, and when they finally went off, the dogs were all still howling for a few seconds....

I suppose those sirens would have scared Happy, and irked Lulu...I could just see Lulu, with her barrel chest stuck out, her face pointed skyward, and a bellowing howl, and rumble coming from her, because those sirens hurt a doggies ears....

And what is the amazing Lulu up to right now?

rofl rofl
you are right
Happy would have been scared by loud siren
Lulu would have been irked
Happy is under my desk now, cause the weather is atmospheric and it unsettles him
Lulu too has been periodically whining for no reason
maybe she is upset you are going to Seattle for 3 days
