I love the first Tuesday of the month

First Tuesday of every month, at 10:00, I get to hear the glorious sound of sirens. Sounds like.... victory.

That's a tornado, RUN FOR COVER!

Also, I don't know what weird *** place you live in, but it's the first Wednesday of the month, anything else is just wrong.

I see a tornado, I walk up to it and wrap my arms around it. That's just Cy coming to town for a visit.

Warrenville. Chicago suburbs. Yeah, we're pretty strange here in the 'Vile.

Tornado siren tests were always on the first Tuesday of the month in Dyersville, when I was growing up, too. Sorry, 3TrueFans.

Last time I heard them testing the sirens was 10:00 on a wednesday. But that is in Ames. Frightening to wake up too.

Your words are full of lies!

As I recall from my childhood, they were on the first Tuesday of the month in Davenport, too. Seemed like it was 10:30 instead of 10:00 though.

"team name here" fans in the warned area should seek immediate cover.

My hometown and the entire county (Waukesha County, WI) tests the tornado sirens every Saturday at noon. I was one time umpiring a baseball game and the siren right by the field went off right at noon like clockwork. Had to reassure the coaches that it was a normal test and we could continue to play.
