Interesting you should ask as we had tornado warnings most of today and evening. I first heard the warning as I was driving home in the winter storm (which in AZ is rain) early this afternoon. It came across the airwaves as a very loud and strident warning sound which went on for a good 30 seconds, following by the announcement from the national weather bureau. I live in the Northwest Valley - and that's the first I had ever heard that. It certainly made you pay attention to what was going on!

Just to further elaborate on the answer.. No, phoenix doesn't have a tornado siren. We do have an air raid siren that is still in use, and if the situation arose in the Phoenix area to need to use it for warning of a tornado, they do use it. Issue is, all the surrounding cities such as Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Peoria, Chandler, etc can hardly hear, if at all. If your concerned you should listen to the weather bulletins on the radio or news stations..
