Sirens in Wildwood will be Retested

Select, new emergency sirens will be re-evaluated this week, after last week's retesting was postponed due to weather reasons. Wildwood is among the three targeted municipalities, according to a KSDK-TV report.

Certain new tornado sirens installed in , Kirkwood and St. Ann over the past year will retested during Feb. 1-8, due to possible sound coverage gaps reported during a previous tornado warning.

St. Louis County Department of Highways and Traffic and Public Works Public Information Manager David Wrone told KSDK-TV while a specific, scheduled date for retesting has not been announced, the tests will not be conducted on Saturday or Sunday.
