After last week’s deadly tornado in Woodward and the threat of tornadoes in Logan County, many citizens have asked where are the sirens in Guthrie located?
There are a total of 14 sirens located inside the city limits. Guthrie Police run routine checks and activate the sirens when needed.

Emergency officials say people should not rely on sirens to warn them about possible tornadoes, especially at night. The sirens are actually designed to warn people who may be outdoors; they’re not meant for people who are inside their homes.
Here is the list of the 14 storm sirens in Guthrie:
2423 W. Noble (West Assembly of God Church)
19th and Orbit (Silver Valley Addition)
19th and Noble (north in alley)
12th and Noble (south in alley)
6th and Noble (north in alley)
Walnut and Crooks (Upper Elementary School)
Broad and Jefferson (east of Fogarty School)
Broad and Oklahoma (north of Courthouse)
Industrial and Ruhl (west on hilltop)
Hillview and Coltrane (south of Guthrie Lake)
Drexel and Harrison (in alley, south of water tower)
College and Pine (east at Edwards Village)
Sooner and Lake Road
2000 East Springer (SW from I-35 and Noble)
Don’t think the one at Broad and Oklahoma was working the night the tornado warning came out here on Friday night/early Sat. We live close to there and the sirens always are ear peircing and that night we could barely hear them.
