The city of Huntsville is urging the public to ensure they have more than one way to receive severe weather alerts, as three of its outdoor warning sirens are out of service.
The sirens are located on Dunlop Boulevard (formerly Zeirdt Road) in Madison, on Kelley Spring Road in Harvest and at Huntsville Fire Station 15 on Sparkman Drive.Â
Each is awaiting needed repairs, the city said.Â
However, even when sirens are in working order, experts say no outdoor siren should be relied upon during severe weather or tornado warnings, as they might not be heard indoors.
The public is instead encouraged to stay weather aware through other means, like using a NOAA weather radio or the Â鶹Çø weather app.
You can turn to Â鶹Çø for everything you need to know to stay safe during severe weather. Meteorologist Carson Meredith, Meteorologist Grace Anello and Meteorologist Olga Breese will provide you with the most accurate information on storms by using our StormTracker Early Warning Radar Network.
