Last Wednesday night, in perfect weather, the tornado sirens went off. First thing I did was send an IM to Jeff P. down the freeway two exits to see if they were going off there (they typically go county wide). He heard nothing.

Well it turns out that the sirens were hacked, which is interesting. They're triggered wirelessly, that much I can tell, because they have little cell phone antennas on their boxes near the base of the poles. Sounds like the vendor did a pretty shitty job securing that.
