Now Olivier:

I've heard them. I live right next to a siren so it really shocked me at fi=
rst because I actually 
thought it could be a real fire going. Then, I understood it was for Madrid=
 so I listened 
intently and waited. This morning, I also received a mail from a close span=
ish friend whose 
cousin would have been in one of the train had she not been sick on thursda=
y.
Take care,
Olivier
