If you’re in Decatur at 5 p.m. Wednesday and hear sirens going off, it doesn’t mean there are tornadoes or Soviet nuclear missiles approaching.

According to The Decatur Minute, the city’s monthly test of the outdoor siren system will be held from 5 to 5:01 p.m. Wednesday, provided there isn’t actual inclement weather in the area. If there are storms, the test will be delayed until Thursday, the city says.

If you have questions or want more information about the siren system, check out the Siren page on the city’s website or contact Police Lt. Barry Woodward at 404-373-6551.
