Update: Sorry for the delay in the storm sirens going off. Woods County E-911 suffered some damage to their dispatch center due to a lighting strike. The storm siren testing was to test all functions of their system to determine if there were any propelms and there were issue identifed that delayed the activation of the sirens at 12:10pm. Woods County E-911 has since corrected the issue and all storm sirens work as they should at 4:10pm. Thanks for everyone’s  patience.
