The War Siren

So, Israel just began its Home Front Exercise, where it is simulating various disasters that might occur during a war. These are ranging from a chemical spill, to a bombing and other attacks. The exercises began with a minute and a half long siren that could be heard all over the country. It is hard to describe the way the siren makes you feel, but all I can say is that even though everyone knew it was an exercise, it still felt like something was about to happen. It was a lot like what you might have heard or seen in old war movies. I can't imagine what it must be like during an actual attack.
