'Silent' Tornado Test Will be Conducted on Monday
If you don't hear the siren, don't panic - it's just a test of the internal system, so there's no need to call Muskego police.
On Monday, March 4, at 10:30am, the National Weather Service will be issuing a “Test Tornado Warning” for our area, according to Muskego Police.
The test will last 15 minutes and is being done to test internal communication systems, and is not designed to replace the Tornado and Severe Weather tests planned for April 18, during Wisconsin’s Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week.
"What it does mean is that, while you may hear test messages on television and radio, you will not hear our tornado sirens, as they are not part of the test. You will have to wait until April 18th to get the full effect, " explained Lieutenant Dave Constantineau. "So if you don’t hear our sirens during the test on Monday, you don’t have to call and tell us, we already know."
