Where I live we do not have tornado sirens, we have air raid sirens (named as such during ww2, and the name stuck). They’re used for various emergencies such as floods, avalanche, etc.
I think the name is just down to the original purpose, and its use case is a lot less limited. It wouldn’t surprise me if our air raid siren sounded identical to your tornado siren.
This may get you banned from Italy, but international fuckery with Lasagna is awesome: mix in some taco spices and serve with nacho chips.
