bearpbeatstickfukr22@reddit

Just so you guys know, the sirens aren’t for tornado so don’t freak out for that. It’s alerting for hail

Hi! Where do you find out the difference? Ty

[-]

omgfloofy@reddit

Storm sirens typically mean 'get indoors and find out more information.' If you're already indoors, they're not meant for you.

They can fire the sirens for anything from tornadoes to major hailstorms - because both of those can be a threat to life if you're caught outside.

Yall should check in to Max Velocity on YouTube. He is the most informative source when it comes to these storms!

For those new to the area. Outdoor warning sirens will go off if a storm approaching has one of the following.
1 wind over 55mph 2 hail 2in diameter or greater 3 radar indicated or confirmed tornado on the ground.
Or it's the first Wednesday of the month around noon. Testing.

Thanks for this thread! Has been hard to get information. Heard sirens in east dallas. Heavy rain and gray skies. Sounded like hail but couldn’t tell.

IAmSixNine@reddit

What? Every new station has an app with weather. Plenty of apps for phones. Weather Wise is my go-to. The info is there. You have to put a tiny bit of effort in to get it.

No hail in east Dallas which is a blessing.

MSHinerb@reddit

Wait for it

[-]

9bikes@reddit

Usually hail is on the leading edge of a storm.

[-]

MSHinerb@reddit

I said it because I was directly west of you and it had just stopped. And the storm was moving east.

[-]

Aintnolobos@reddit

Tornado sirens went off in East Dallas for ~ten minutes then stopped

[-]

nickgomez@reddit

9bikes@reddit

They weren't ever just tornado sirens. They were originally part of our Civil Defense system.

I had turned on the TV to Channel 5 about 9:45-ish. They were finishing a sentence about the shooting at the journalist meeting in DC with Trump being rushed out.

Then it immediately shifted to the weather. They were reporting one area had wind gusts of 89 mph. Tennis ball sized hail. Possible tornado, but no verification in that area.

Then at about 1am one of their reporters said there were some fatalities from the storm. So sad! Another reporter showed flooding.
