On Wednesday, March 27th, 2019 at 10:18 AM CST, the National Weather Service of Des Moines, IA issued a test tornado warning for central Iowa until 10:30 AM, in part with Severe Weather Awareness week. This is a time for municipalities to test the siren systems for the beginning of the severe weather season. The general public is advised to go over action plans and exercise emergency procedures at this time. This was a test message only.

Siren: Federal Signal Modulator 5020
City/State/County: Ames, IA, Story County
Testing day/time: Wednesday, March 27th, 10:18AM CST
Cycle(s) tested: Alert Blast, 2X custom Message, Full Alert
Additional enthusiast(s) present: N/A

Recording equipment: Canon Vixia HF R600 camcorder, Takstar SGC-598 Shotgun Microphone, Sunpak Ultra 6000PG tripod, and Uniden Bearcat BC75XLT scanner

Per a rumor that I heard other students say the sirens on campus were 'talking' last year, I had to check out what the fuss was about...and clearly it was true! By far, the coolest test I think I've been to yet! Unfortunately, I left the scanner running not expecting the siren to fire up right at 10:18, and the wind was a bit hard at times, but I think it still turned out alright.

Enjoy, and thanks for tuning in to MSP!
