Indian Point siren tests today

They tested the Indian Point sirens three times this morning.

At 10:35, as I was outside getting the morning paper, I heard a
steady tone, not too loud, heard from towards where the Rt 306 old
siren is/was, possibly one in the other direction. A short test,
faded to nothing without changing tone.

The second test was at 11am. The tone is not very loud inside the
house and it varies! There is no wind ot speak of. (For the first one
too.)

The third test, at 11:30. Longer but barely audible. Sounds like it
is coming from more due east...

Not very impressive. I live just outside the 10 mile zone, maybe a
tenth of a mile if that. I can barely hear the sirens. I think they
need to be A LOT LOUDER!!
