Every so often while working retail we would get an out-of-towner in the store while that happens.
They lose their shit and panic.
One time at a sports store, a guy heard the sirens at the checkout counter and just left the cart and booked it for his car. I guess he figured he would outrun anything coming at him…
The last two places I’ve lived choose a specific Wednesday of the month to test, and always at noon.
They still test in rain, so every so often you still feel that mild panic again until you look at the clock.
We have the same but like for enemy invasion, the test is not like the real thing though but just short bursts.
Thunderstorms on test days are always more fun.
