Welcome to: What's driving you crazy? We live in a world of crazy rules, crazy surprises and crazy leadership (I won't say whose, but you know who you are). So, let's band together and point out of some of the crazy things in our world. Who would have thought cities have emergency alert ("air raid") sirens that couldn't be heard indoors and were set up that way? Can you believe how rude some drivers are? People wonder why there's road rage! There are crazy rules and crazy signs. We will have stories, photos, videos and more. So, please come back often. Better yet, sign up for our e-mail updates. Cheers! Please contact us with your thoughts, comments or ideas.

How will you learn there is a tornado on your doorstep? Sirens? Maybe not!

"Sirens and other audio devices are used especially in tornado country to sound alarms. They are more effective than most other alternatives for notifying people who are outside and who do not have special receivers. Large numbers of sirens are needed to cover populated areas and to be loud enough to be heard indoors by most people. Sirens are expensive to install and maintain and can only provide limited information. Their signals can reach people speaking different languages, but to understand the signal and to know what action is appropriate depends on prior education or experience." Working Group on Natural Disaster Information Systems The sirens are designed to warn people who are outside to go inside and turn on their local television or radio stations to find out what the situation is.
