Houston - The White House tested a new early-warning siren Friday during President Donald Trump’s visit to flood-ravaged Texas. The siren, described by witnesses as “ear-piercing,” activated each time an inconvenient question was posed during a live press briefing, effectively drowning out the inquiry and halting the proceedings.

The test coincided with President Trump’s tour of Kerr County, Texas, where he surveyed the devastation caused by catastrophic flooding that has killed at least 120 people and left dozens missing.
