An ill wind comes
arising
Across the cities of the plain
There's no swimming in the heavy water
No singing in the acid rain
Red alert

| To solve this
puzzle, you will have to find the songs by RUSH in the following
paragraphs and determine the track number from the original CD
(not a live or combination CD). For
example, Distant Early Warning is track 1 on Grace Under Pressure.
NOTE: I consider every song listed with a
length or run time to be an individual track. |
| I got all the track numbers from
the RUSH website
Discography page. |

The local warning sirens alert the subdivisions where they are
located about pending dangerous circumstances. There are different
warning tones for different threats like flash floods or high
water. These warning systems were put in place after lessons
learned from the tragedies caused by severe weather.
When a warning
siren sounds, you should stop what you're doing and take note of
the way the wind blows. It would be a good idea to get a flashlight
since you might not be able to see in the available light. Make
your way to the strongest room in your house where you hope to
stick it out. All warning sirens need to be heeded so that a
paramedic won't have to check your vital signs.
