Frisco Outdoor Warning Sirens

Ever wonder what those sirens were for? Well the City of Frisco has 24 outdoor warning sirens that have been placed strategically throughout the city. The system uses several different and unique tones to alert the residents of Frisco about any imminent approach of severe weather and other emergencies that require immediate notification.

Back in November of 2007, the Frisco Fire Department took a unique approach to proactive siren testing and began sounding its outdoor warning sirens every Wednesday at noon to prepare for the 2008 severe weather season. The department has found that the weekly testing has become a significant benefit to maintaining the system's readiness and current plans are to continue during the testing.

Now the Fire Department will sound the sirens on days when the skies are overcast and gray but not threatening; however, when severe weather is in the forecast, the sirens will not be sounded unless there is an actual emergency. Full Story

Less than 1% chance home prices will fall in Dallas / Fort Worth

Report: Dallas-Fort Worth won't see big home price declines 11:08 PM CDT on Thursday, April 10, 2008 By STEVE BROWN / The Dallas Morning News stevebrown@dallasnews.com

While North Texas' housing market decline has accelerated in recent months, analysts are still betting that the Dallas-Fort Worth area won't see measurable price declines. Indeed, the latest report from mortgage insurance firm PMI Group says that D-FW is one of the last places in the country likely to see a drop in home prices during the next couple of years. There's less than a 1 percent chance that home prices will fall here, according to PMI's spring risk index report, which was released Thursday. At the same time, PMI says that 13 of the nation's top housing markets have more than a 60 percent likelihood of home price declines. Full Story

Texas Tornados - Frisco Hockey Team

If you are a Frisco resident and haven't been to a Texas Tornados Hockey game at the Dr. Pepper Center, you are missing out bigtime. I went last Friday and had a most excellent time. Hockey is a fun sport, and it's so close, like right down the street on Gaylord near Stonebriar Mall. The crowd is active, there is beer, snacks and loud rock music during intermission. The bathrooms are clean and the entertainment is superb.

At first I was a little put-off by the violence, (I'm such a girl) but in no time I started screaming, "hit him in the face!" There's something so raw about violence in the name of sport, as in war, suddenly the unthinkable is justified. Maybe it was the other team's posse acting smug when they were ahead by three points. We couldn't let those bucket thumping wannabees win! It's our Dr. Pepper Center! That did it. I cheered for the other team to get beaten, tripped and shoved louder than the rest of the crowd (I also have a loud mouth). What a great release! You need to come and support your local Frisco Hockey Team!!!

Kids will love this sport and the Dr. Pepper Center and the Frisco Texas Tornados. You've got to visit. I'll be at the next game with my nephew. It's on April 11th at 8pm. This game will be round 1 of the playoffs against Topeka. (Look at me, I actually sound like I know what I'm talking about.) Pinch me. We're in Frisco!
