The campus has an emergency siren system that they test on the first Wednesday of every month at 11:50 AM, RIGHT when I am usually walking out of a building that has one of the sirens on top of it. And even though I expect it, it still makes me jump every time.
For some reason our brand new library's fire alarm is pathetically quiet. It went off the other day and it took me a second to realize what it was. It sounds more like the tardy bell from my high school than an alarm.
Anyway, we listened to the entire Winter Storm Warning. It had a lot of detail that I didn't expect. What to bring in your car if you have to drive, not to over-exert yourself when shoveling, etc.
