If you hear tornado sirens going off today in parts of the Mid-South, don’t worry — it’s just a test.

The Germantown Fire Department will briefly test the city’s outdoor emergency warning sirens at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

City leaders want to make sure the system is working properly after a series of radio upgrades at the city’s emergency dispatch center.

Sirens will also be sounding in Mississippi late Wednesday morning, as part of the state’s Severe Weather Awareness Week.

Some municipalities may choose to test their sirens during the statewide tornado drill, which was scheduled to be held at 9:15 a.m.

Less than 200 MLGW customers are affected by a power outage late Wednesday morning, after roughly 8,000 residents were without power at one point Tuesday after several circuits went offline.

MLGW advised on twitter that  in any emergency situation, whether it's a tornado, ice storm, earthquake or flood, you need to be prepared for the possibility of temporary power outages.
