If you hear tornado sirens blaring across Minnesota and Wisconsin today, don’t be alarmed — but don’t completely ignore them, either. It’s the annual tornado drill day in both states.

(KIMT) -- The fourth day of Minnesota's Severe Weather Awareness Week deals with tornadoes. Tornadoes are one of the more damaging severe weather events that can uproot lives and properties in mere seconds.

Residents in Duluth will hear sirens at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. on Thursday, April 10 for Tornado Drill Day, part of Severe Weather Awareness Week.
