At 12:00 noon, we were hit with a
major setback. Off the store’s northeast corner, in a field with the Langley
water tower is one of the town’s tornado sirens. It is approximately 200 feet
off of our NE corner. Every two weeks, on Tuesdays at noon, there is an
automated test of the town’s sirens. When you live in Oklahoma (a.k.a. Tornado
Alley), you learn to take tornados seriously. Especially after the 2011 Joplin
storm, you stand up and take notice. Needless to say, with all the chaos and
pandemonium of the rise of the living dead, the town’s tornado siren was not
exactly even a blip on anyone’s radar.

That noise echoes for miles and now I
am afraid every zom in 10 square miles is going to be descending on us. For
now, Lance and Hunter are both on the roof as an early warning network. I just
hope they don’t signal us. I feel our fortifications are secure but I really
don’t want these things wandering around our parking lot in case there is
something that we missed.
So, checking our calendar, we are
going to have to hit that pole and disable the alarm before May 21st
or we are going to have to go through this all over again.
More soon.
