    As a siren enthusiast, I know several other enthusiasts who have deliberately gone out during tornado warnings to go film the sirens. I can’t imagine going out in such high winds and rain to do that, but some people are really, really dedicated. I prefer waiting for the weekly/monthly tests.

      Tornado sirens are. The. Most. Unsettling. Noise humanity can make (while chewing with its mouth closed at least).

      Chicago’s siren makes me feel like an inconsolably terrified and food-poisoned 4-year-old, kidnapped to another planet.

      How do you film a siren? It’s not like it does anything besides make noise, couldn’t you just record the audio from a distance?
