For a description of the recording:
This recording was made while recording ice on a frozen lake in
St.Paul MN 400 feet from shore.
Our local Civil Defense system is tested each month.
All communities in the Midwest (and I assume the entire US) have a
Civil Defense system.
These are large sirens located in a grid so that more than one can be
heard from any location.
The closest siren in this recording was about 1 mile away. The copter
was luck.
This system allows the public not to bother learning what a Wall
Cloud is and it also assures our mutual self destruction will occur
on the first Wednesday of the month at 1:00PM.
