Blasting Sirens This Morning Part of Statewide Tornado Drill

The drill will take place at 9:50 a.m. today throughout Ohio

No need for alarm — the sirens you'll likely hear blasting at 9:50 a.m. today are part of the 2012 Statewide Tornado Drill.

The siren test consists of sirens on for three minutes, then three minutes silent. This cycle will occur four times. The drill is dependent on the weather forecast recommendation of the National Weather Service (NWS).

As of Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service had predicted no severe weather for Northeast Ohio.
