An Air Raid Siren A Town Could Love

For decades, an air-raid siren ripped through Steamboat Springs, Colorado every day at 12 sharp.According to NPR, the screeching, 150-decibel siren sent some tourists running for cover, and was removed a couple of years ago when it was in danger of collapsing. Though most agree it was annoying, Steamboat Springs residents missed the tradition. Now the city is bringing back a softer, mellower version of the siren.
