ENID, OK — Tornado sirens went off briefly in Enid around 7:25 a.m. this morning, giving several residents a surprising wake-up call.

Mike Honigsberg, emergency management director for the county, wrote on his Facebook that he accidentally set off the sirens this morning. “We programmed my hand-held radio and afterwards, I didn’t switch frequencies and leaned back against the wall . . .” he explained. “It keyed up my radio, which was on my belt. Sorry if I scared anyone.”

Skies this morning were sunny and clear, so there was no indication of any storm problems. The sirens sounded for about a minute.
