So are Civil Defense sirens.

No they are *not*! In fact they put them in in the 80's (well after I
left the region).

"If you see a bright flash immediately duck down and cover yourself

their picnic blanket for thermal radiation flash protection. _They_

In the midwest, if you hear a CD siren you'd better find a place to hide
your sorry ass. There is a tornado right on it! They only fire 'em up if
it's on the ground and confirmed, so you'd better know what to do before
you hear it.
