This video is all about tornado sirens. Their history, their sounds, their shapes, and all the different brands and models.

Which tornado sirens do you think sound the scariest?

Thanks for watching!.. Also you should consider subscribing for more tornado content! Love you.

Also I have a new channel called "Swegz" about the evolution of things if you're interested..

(Also also if I sound weird, its because I filmed this while I had strep throat)
