Tornado-like winds rip through Orland Park -- sirens go off 5 minutes after they pass
The Tornado emergency warning system in Orland Park sounded Sunday night, about 5 minutes after the tornado-like winds and hail storm passed through the village heading east.
A little late folks. The siren is supposed to go off before hand, in theory. But the reality of emergency notifications is that by the time tornado-like winds are detected, they pass by so fast by the time the tornado siren is set-off, it's too late.
So, why do we have emergency sirens?
To remind us that what we just witnessed could be bad?
