MAURY COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — Maury County officials will conduct a scheduled test of the outdoor tornado warning siren system on Monday, May 11, at 4 p.m.
Officials said the sirens will activate for a brief period as part of the test. No emergency is taking place, and residents do not need to seek shelter.
The test is designed to ensure the warning system is functioning properly and to help residents stay prepared for severe weather.
The test was originally set for 1 p.m., but was later rescheduled for 4 p.m.
Community members are encouraged to use the test as an opportunity to review their family’s severe weather emergency plan and identify the location of their nearest shelter.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
