If you have the question that relates to how many sirens mean a tornado, the answer is... It kind of depends where you live because I know that some counties in Wisconsin only have one siren and that is the tornado siren so like I said it depends where you live. Another type of siren is the war siren or some people know it as the bomb siren. That means that people are trying to bomb you. And then there is the Wildfire siren. That means get out of the area because a wildfire has started near you, but that is mainly in the southern states like Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
