I was listening to the radio and all of the sudden the Civil Defense Sirens went off... on the radio, not in the county sirens. They didn't say anything afterwards, we came inside to check the weather (thinking that may be the cause) and we found a strange forecast, saying that the atmosphere was a little messy.
Specifically, this is what it said AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
1056 AM CDT MON MAY 26 2008
.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 1051 AM CDT MON MAY 26 2008
RATHER MESSY ATMOSPHERE THIS MORNING. CONVECTION OVERNIGHT AND
PATCHY ACTIVITY FROM THE PLAINS TO THE MIDWEST HAVE TURNED THE
ATMOSPHERE OVER QUITE A BIT. PLENTY OF MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS
IN PLACE TO KEEP DESTABILIZATION TO A MINIMUM. PROBLEM MAY BE THE
LIMITED CLEARING OUT IN THE QUAD CITIES AREA. ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH THE VERY SKETCHY CLOUD
SITUATION...TEMPS ARE ALSO A BIT OF A PROBLEM FOR THE FORECAST.
