Just last year on June 7th there was a tornado less than half a mile from my my house, and if it wasn't for my neighbor i would have never known. And just last week we had a rotating funnel cloud right in the neighborhood, and it was clear that very few people noticed. I think it is a very important investment and should be taken care of. I have never lived in a city that didn't have a civil warning siren. I think it is absolutely outrageous the the North Thornton area does not have a civil warning siren.

I can not believe that these areas do not have tornado sirens. Especially Thornton after the area was raked by tornados in the early 1980's. What about people who are working in malls and other places that may not be running a radio or TV? Thanks for gambling with my life, that is exactly what these cities are doing because of the bottom line, I hope they do not pay dearly for their lack of foresight. Wow!

I am disabled and walk with a cane. I do not have the added bonus of being able to walk outside all the time to check the weather and when you lose power like we did last night even the battery operated radio is hard to get a signal on when you are in the basement. I really hope the Mr. Reddy never has to feel the lose of a loved one due to a tornado, blizzard or other act of nature. I grew up in North Dakota and have seen a number opf tornado's and by the time you see them it might be to late. The sirens would be a definite help. I am sure there must be some money left in the budget. What does Mr. Reddy make? Maybe he should drop that by a few percent. I think Mr. Reddy needs to understand how much help the sirens could be.

Has he ever been outside when a tornado is coming in his direction? Does not sound like it. Stating that for only 3 weeks of severe weather does not constitute the cost of a warning system is ludicrous. I moved here from Oklahoma, where those same sirens don’t get used that often either, but they are there none-the-less. Maybe he should call or speak with the Emergency Management folks in Oklahoma (or any of the weather people who work with the systems) and see what they say. There are many instances where sirens are the ONLY notification - particularly if power is out or out at a mall. My only question to Mr. Reddy would be: What dollar amount are you putting on a human life? Just think, someday one of your family members may be injured or killed because of the lack of a warning system. Reminds me of Ford and the Pinto. Mr. Reddy needs to have his facts checked.
