Thanks Jeremy. Even though I'm in IN, a test warning came through NOAA radio today but no sirens, apparently because I'm in the Paducah CWA. I suppose tomorrow when IN has their drill, my NOAA radio won't test, but the sirens will. Ugh, Evansville is always the "black sheep cousin" no one wants to talk about. :wink:

Were you in Kentucky at the time? Or can you usually hear the Kentucky sirens from Evansville?
