Hmm...

Well, I can honestly say if there's ever a fire here I'll burn up and die. Jesus H. Christ! We just had a fire drill. I couldn't hear the alarm AT ALL. I had no clue anything was happening until the Fireman opened my door and then I saw the lights. I was like "Shit!" and ran out.

Yup. Gonna die.

Yeah, goood old Maril...Marrel...whatever. Yeah, luckily I was up the couple of times that thing went off. The first time I thought it was someone's alarm clock. I only figured it out when I went out into the hall with the intent of making Andrea or some other R. A. shut it off.

yeah that's what happened to me with the Great Fifth Floor Fire that almost killed me...i was sleeping in my room across the hall from the fire and i thought that the alarm was someone's car alarm. the only reason i found out what it was (before dying or having the very slow fire department banging on my door) was that i finally was awakened sufficiently that i decided to go get some food.

Yeah, that's a great alarm they've got there.

Yup. Sister Patsy threw a big fit for me, I guess they're going to turn up the volume or something. *whew*

Good, they need to. That thing would have never woken me up, let alone anyone hard of hearing, or remotly a deep sleeper.

Yeah. Lots of people said what you did - that it sounds more like someone's annoying alarm clock than a Fire alarm. I can hear Old Main's better over here than ours.
