We will be back from China and could make the drive to attend.
(Or hope for bad weather the next several Fridays.)
Why so late?
There is more chance of active storms in the area at 7 p.m.
Rarely do storms occur as early as Noon. They are in the building stage and to the west at that time.
Denver does their MONTHLY tests the 2nd Wednesdays at 11 a.m.
Maybe they expect people to be home and carry out drills. I too gripe about the annual test, because new people have NO idea what the siren sounds like and dont know what to do sometimes.
I built a siren on a breadboard that sounds a lot like the fed 550AT the town's got... That one, I can set off anytime at any volume (gets me through in a way for lack of better words!)
I should test mine the same time slot as the town... I think theres a law against sounding a CD siren outside of municipal tests and storm emergencies.
