Or rather, early this AM? 1:30 AM the first time. Again at 1:45 AM. The second time I got up to see what was up. I was worried a neighbor's home alarm was triggered.

Then I went to local weather and saw another flash flood warning. I assumed the sirens were for flash floods.

Yet, we've had several flash flood warnings in recent weeks, but haven't had any sirens.

Yes, they are storm sirens. They're also flash flood sirens. They're also tornado sirens. They're also air raid sirens. They're also ....

But it's the same siren for all the above and there's no distinction as to the threat. "Do I need to break out the antiaircraft artillery or do I need to get to higher ground because the dam broke", kind of thing.

Called the BAPD dispatch after they kept going on and off for half an hour with no info. Talk about cranky! YES, WE KNOW! THEY ARE MALFUNCTIONING! My next question was, then why are you not letting your citizens know this via the city alert system? (BA has a Text and phone alert) then maybe they would stop calling you to find out why the flood alarm is sounding.
