Awesome. Raises the hair on the back of my neck. I can't imagine hearing that prior to a great raid. Scary.

I'm only 44 (oh *****, that's depressing) but I can recall as a kid that we still had weekly / monthly tests of the sirens across the UK.

I believe they're no longer in-situ as they have something that can broadcast on every TV / Radio / etc if such alerts are needed

That thing would probably kill you if you were at 0-1 yards or more when it went off if it is that loud at 100yards...

Our town still has one left over from WW2 and they use it for something and it goes off about every week.

Creepy. What could be that important to light that thing off once a week in your town, Adler?

Did you read the part where they talk about the amount of energy can light things on fire at close range?

It is a minimum security prison for women. Nothing special.
