Azerty-of-KoL Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 So...here in the bay area in California, it was absolutely POURING. Today at school, I was in 1st period, when suddenly, the FIRE ALARM goes off. So we had to stand in the freezing rain for 20 minutes, while they secured the school. It turns out that the rain got into the air ducts and managed to set the alarm off. >.> Anyways...has anything like this happened to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestLess-BoTics Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I live in California as well, and I'm enjoying this weather. It wasn't pouring here in San Diego, but we received a nice drizzle and an overcast, which was pretty nice, 'cause I like wearing a sweater for the entire day.

Dismal Euphony Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 At our school, routine fire drills are common; however, they're not common in the warm months. For reasons I've yet to grasp, my school decides to have fire drills in twenty degree weather. To make things worse, they do not permit us to go to our lockers to get a jacket. We're forced to stand outside in twenty degree weather for anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazer Yoshi Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 At my school, the Fire Alarm really hurts your ears. We always end up standing outside for half-an-hour, regardless of time, weather, ETC. Sometimes, I'll end up being late to get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Lez Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 We always have this test-alarms..They rule..in my school we have a ritual for them... We were adviced to keep it slowly and to not get mad..or sth.Me and my friends were like " so..why the..should we wait?"And we took our cigarettes inside of school...and the teachers just looked weird..and ..well we could say "..it's burning!..1 cigarette more or less..makes no difference?"..^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Lovegood Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I suggest not moving to anywhere more north of where you are, if you dislike the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
六兆年と一夜物語 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 There was a fire after P.E., we didn't take a shower. It then rained and we thought it was a shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Frostpaw Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I suggest not moving to anywhere more north of where you are' date=' if you dislike the rain.[/quote'] Take this advice. I live in the north, and it's been raing here almost every day for the past week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Sucks to be you. When ever my school does fire drills it's almost always warm, well at least not freezing, and it's normally a fair day. Even if it wasn't we are only out side for like 3 min. I suggest not moving to anywhere more north of where you are' date=' if you dislike the rain.[/quote'] I live in NY and the weather here has been crappy. In fact it's going to rain for most of the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mehmani Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 The Bell at my school is a really loud klaxon noise. The first time it went off everyone went beserk and started screaming and running about. It was fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JoshIcy Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Eeeh... Weather is weather. I don't care.But the sound the fire alarm makes, I do. Like the one at Pearl City High School... That fire alarm sounds like it could kill small children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~ P O L A R I S ~ Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 "The rain set the fire alarms off"? Either that's a really bad cover story for one of the school's staff having pulled one, or your fire alarms totally suck. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitus Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I've had to stand in the freezing rain for about an hour. Maybe forty-five minutes. Sounds like it sucked. At least it could've been worse. It could've actually BEEN a fire, the school burns down, and THEN it starts raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Griffin Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I like the rain, even more when it's cold <3Sucks that my school always had them in the damn sun, normally because some people were playing golf in the hallway and broke the fire alarm.Yes, that happened often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
