Hudson County to install 30 warning sirens for a myriad of horrific possibilities--Johnny thinks he should have done more research before moving here

See back in Ypsilanti, where Johnny came from, warning sirens meant one thing, tornadoes. That was pretty much it. They didn't even turn those on for the foggy haze of smoke that was Hash Bash in Ann Arbor. Now, the Jersey Journal tells us, the county of Hudson will be installing 30 new warning sirens that will alert local residents to possible:

*Toxic chlorine gas begins leaking from a Kearny factory
*A hurricane strikes New York Harbor
*A bomb blast at a Bayonne petrochemical plant ignites a fire and a plume smoke wafts over the region

The article says they hope to have the 70 decibel sirens installed by February 1, to meet a Homeland Security grant deadline.

On second thought, the hurricane might be cool....

  1. I see this is another municipality TOTALLY IGNORING giant flying cat heads with laser eyes. When will Americans take this threat seriously?
