Misunderstanding over siren stirs hard feelings

A sudden thunderstorm July 7 whipped up a torrent of hard feelings in Lyle, Minn.

After the town's emergency warning system failed to sound a siren as a severe storm swept through the small town last Sunday, Mower County Sheriff Wayne Goodnature and Mower County Civil Defense Director Robert Nelson told Austin reporters that the siren in Lyle had been inoperable for some time.

Lyle Mayor Harold Rohne and Lyle City Council members are adamant that their system works and angry about the remarks. They say they did all they could and the storm came too quickly to do more.

Lyle attracting attention from across Minnesota

Like other Lyle residents, Nancy Williamson was busy last week.
