The city of Decatur will test it's new Tornado Outdoor Warning Siren system for installation purposes on Friday, January 22, 2010 at 12 noon. The test will last about two minutes.
The first official monthly testing of the system will be held on Wednesday February 3, at 5 p.m. If the weather is bad that day, the test will be postponed until Thursday February 4, at 5 p.m.
From now on the system will be tested on the first Wednesday of each month at 5 p.m. The sirens will sound for about one minute during each testing.
While we don't have many tornadoes in Decatur and metro Atlanta, the one we had back in March 2008 was a big one. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. I took the photos shown here the day after the tornado hit as we drove down Dekalb Ave towards downtown Atlanta, GA.
