My hearing must be above average to have heard what I heard a few nights ago! I thought I could here the wailing of a siren, but I must have heard an emergency vehicle or fire truck. I began to hear it clearer again and the rise and fall of a tornado siren was definitely was hearing!
I felt I needed to tell my daughter and son in law because I knew they couldn't hear them over the TV in their room. So I got up from my chair and walked with my walker their room. I tapped on their door and they responded. I told them about the siren and they didn't believe me!
Nevertheless, my daughter got up to investigate. She opened the front door and said, "See, I don't hear a siren! We can hear ours over the TV and besides, we have no warnings of any kind or even a watch! I don't know what you thought you heard, but it wasn't our tornado siren, so I wouldn't worry about it!"
We I was miffed because I knew that I had heard a wailing siren! It may have been set off accidently, but seemed unlikely!
My daughter, this morning, from four days ago, she was reading about a tornado that mentioned West Point! Upon investing further she discovered that indeed had touched down on West Point Lake! That had a picture of it that had someone had captured it going across the lake!
Well, I received my vindication that confirmed that I had indeed heard the siren the other night! My daughter said that the next time my keen hearing prevailed, she would take heed!
