I am sorry, I posted before I was completely aware & awake.

Last summer tornado warning off before 5 am. I am lucky, all that happened was in March 2024.
Several people were killed.

Why does Minnesota test tornado sirens on the first Wednesday of the month?

The monthly Wednesday tornado siren test, a Minnesota tradition, traces its origins back to 1950s fears of a Soviet atomic bomb attack. Writer Dave Kenney, who has researched Civil Defense in Minnesota, discusses how Minnesotans responded to an evolving international threat during the Cold War.

And then there is Severe Weather week, usually in April when sirens sound at different times

What day of the week does do your people go off

Go off on a rant? Do a Ken/Karen?

Take off? Most people take Saturday and Sunday off.

"Does do"?

Question mark?

Proofreading is still an important skill to remember to deploy. AI proofreading is not good enough.
