My teen daughter and I were at a small town in west Texas getting gas. The sirens went off for a tornado warning. She looked at me with eyes as big as saucers. She had never heard air raid sirens before. I just said,,,”oh my god, those are only in case of nuclear war.”

She went pale ,,then i started to laugh. A Dad’s humor is the *best*,,,

Heh. The first weekend I was in my new house the local air raid sirens went off (the nuke ones). I was working in the garage. I stepped out into the driveway saw my new neighbor just standing there. I asked what was up.

Apparently my house is near a flash flood zone and the nuke sirens got co-opted by the city for flash flood alerts so they go off often with good rain storms.
