The Durham staff of The News & Observer works the Bull City to dig up the news and tell its stories. Read here about insider stuff that fills their notebooks but doesn't always make the paper.
Remain Calm.
All is well.
If you're on the Duke University campus Wednesday or Thursday, you may be startled by a blaring emergency alarm. University officials ask that you do NOT call 911; they're simply testing the new emergency response system they purchased recently.
The tests will be conducted Wednesday from 2 to 4:30 p.m., and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Sirens will sound intermittently. If you're outside on campus or close to it you may hear loud tones and live and recorded messages.
