Neighbor on local Facebook group savaged for complaining about “excessive” bi-annual nuclear power plant alert siren network testing.
A Facebook post in a community group questions the purpose of a siren, suggesting it seems excessive. A comment responds, agreeing and suggesting the original poster should voice their concerns to a manager. Reactions include likes and emojis.

As someone that worked for a nuclear power plant operator it's not like the person can't call the plant up and ask them when their next test is, then mark that on their calendar, so they can make sure they're not home when it happens.

@gme 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @Rob Carlson I would think these would be published anyway so that people would know a false alarm from a real one.

@gme You have to be very tuned out to not know it’s happening. I think they were just complaining how loud it is when all the sirens combine.

That's kind of the point though. Those sirens are there to alert you to an emergency. They wouldn't be very effective if nobody noticed them. 😉
