Faint Illumination

05151203 Lightning partially illuminates a small evening storm.

Could Of Gone Off?

Why do people say alarms go off?  I see and hear this all the time. 'The tornado siren went off'. 'Alarm bells were going off.' 'My alarm clock went off.' Don't they actually go on?  This is nothing new, by the way.  People have been saying something goes off, when it really goes on, for decades or longer.
