Other severe storm events like straight line winds can be dangerous and unpredictable like tornadoes, so why do we have tornado sirens instead of more general highly-severe-storm-alarm sirens?

Generally, they’re actually multipurpose outdoor warning sirens. If you call them tornado sirens like me, chances are you live in tornado alley, also like me. I didn’t learn they were called anything else until I got Everbridge and started getting notifications about “outdoor warning sirens test today.”
That’s very probably the case for me—that it is just what we call them around here. Thank you!
