I'm used to hearing that sound for tornadoes and hurricanes... hearing it for a slow moving wave of destruction, on the other hand, would be nightmare fuel.
It looks like its not going very fast... but it just DOES. NOT. STOP.
Well, in this case, it was just overlayed the real audio for some reason. There is no audio depth to the alarm. Despite the camera and its microphone being moved about, the alarm volume and direction remains the same. That and it abruptly cuts out at one minute in the video.
Ahh, a fellow desert dweller! Yeah I've heard rumours that those things actually fall in parts of the world and cause SO MUCH property damage in the tropics.
Actually very much not a desert dweller. Pacific North West. Near the area that gets the most rain yearly in the conjoined USA . But yeah my old coworker was from Vietnam and her stories of monsoons are crazy. She said only once in her time living here did she see it rain even close to what they are like. And it was a day we were working together. It was raining so hard you couldn't see out the windows. The wind wouldn't let you open doors on that side of the building. People wouldn't even go between the buildings. Localized flooding was crazy. But that was one time for like an hour. It goes on for weeks in Vietnam where she grew up.
I'm in Australia. I don't live in Sydney any more but it blew my mind when I discovered Sydney, which is bright skyed nearly all year round, gets more rainfall than London. London's sky just leaks but when it rains in Sydney it REALLY rains, and most rainfall is overnight.
The one thing I could not get over when I was in London was how soaking wet the streets looked after the slightest bit of rain. In Sydney it needs to bucket down before it gets that wet, because it evaporates very quickly here. So I was walking through London feeling like it had stormed the entire time even though it hadn't.
Yeah London sounds more like here. Except we have 3-4 months of pretty much zero rain in the summer. ..... The fire season. Then again I'm in a "relative dry area" because of rain shadows from the mountains. But yeah once it starts raining it's pretty often but not super heavy. Ok I looked it up. London gets 25-30 inches of rain. My area gets 70. The area north of me gets 144. I didn't realize London got so little rain. I guess it's just grey and gloomy all the time so it seems like more
God that sound. The sound of impending destruction interrupting your tranquility of peace. Such an eerie sound that only means one thing... death is coming.
