What is that Noise?

For the last few days the weather here in KC has been kind of gloomy. Raining off and on and cloudy. Then yesterday right before I was getting ready to leave work I heard this high pitched noise. I thought that there was some thing wrong with the CD that I was listening to on my computer at work. So thinking nothing of it I headed out for the weekend. Dodging the rain I ran to my car and turned on the radio. Nothing on the weather. Then I ran to the bank and was talking with the teller and they asked if the sirens were still going. That is when I put two and two together. The tornado sirens. Go figure. Well I got home and turned on the news and there were 3 tornadoes that had touched down, one in Bonner Springs, Gardner and in Missouri. The first two were about 15-20 miles away from me and the last at least 30 miles from me. So for about an hour or two the tornado sirens kept going off. Thankfully nothing by me just tons and tons of rain and black skies. So I have survived my first Kansas tornadoes.
