The Morrill County Sheriff’s Office will begin testing the tornado sirens on Wednesday, March 27th at 09:00 A.M. Following this test, weekly testing of the tornado sirens will continue THURSDAYS at 10:00 A.M. The test will consist of a solid tone, which will sound for approximately one minute.

What do these tones mean? In the event of severe weather, one solid tone means that a tornado warning has been issued that affects the city, or that a funnel cloud, tornado, or strong rotation has been observed by trained spotters that will affect the immediate area. You should seek shelter immediately! These sirens will be sounded for three minutes and may be re-sounded if the warning is extended, or the threat is increasing.
