One of My friends lives in a house with a Federal Signals 2001 tornado siren literally on the other side of the street.
One way to possibly make your eardrums start ringing
What siren is closest to your location.
-
Well, there's a fire station 4 blocks up the street and when the siren goes off, it gets really really loud and it tends to wake me up sometimes :club:
There are no tornado sirens in my area since we rarely get tornadoes in NJ
-
The one that's 150 feet from my house. It's LOUD!!! Scares the shit out of me every time, too. Specifically, it's an Allertor 125 made by ACA. Rarer version of the model, in that it's single toned (most are dual-toned).
I should have a pic online somewhere....

I was at Handels ice cream in Toledo one time and the clouds were really looking ominious.
All of a sudden a siren in a schoolyard across the street went off. IT WAS REALLY LOUD!!!
At first most of the people there including me and my family thought is was a fire siren but then discovered that it was a tornado siren. Everyone including my family and I were running towards our cars/vans/etc to get out of there.
Siren: Federal Signals 2T22/3T22 didn't know what exact model but I know it was one of those two models.

Siren: Federal Signals 2T22/3T22
Do they (Toledo) still have those?

The one that I saw in the schoolyard across the street from Handels in Toledo, Ohio is still there to this very day and it definitely works.
-
I think there's one up in Orting, kinda far away, for if Mt. St. Helens blows. There might be one closer that I don't know about because if the mountain blows a certain way, I could be screwed in the valley.

Now that I remember
The fire station in Temperance Michigan (Bedford District 1 FD) that I've been by a few times has a Thunderbolt 1000/1000T or 1003 as its siren
-
There's a Thunderbolt @ the Burlington Fire Station like 40 min away fro me. I love thunderbolts. :D
-
The nearest siren near my house is a P-50 which is about a quarter mile away at the municipal building.
-
The siren in use at the near-by Bedford District 2 FD in Lambertville, Michigan is a Weird one.
I think its a Federal Signals 500/Federal 500

No sirens around here.

Huh. :huh:
-
Where I am, my neighborhood is right smack dab in the middle of 2 sirens.
The one near North Lake College is an FS EOWS 612 siren, and another one at Irving Fire Station #11 is a FS 2001.
My hometown had all EOWS 612 sirens, but the replaced most of the Valley Ranch district ones with the 2001s.
-
One thing that is annoying about the test is having to hear this 4 times on every loudspeaker/siren in the county when they test the sirens.
This is a test of the Monroe County Early Warning Siren System, This is only a test.
And then this 4 more times
This concludes this test of the Monroe County Early Warning Siren System, This was only a test.

UPDATE
I just found out that the Federal Signal 500 At the near-by Lambertville VFD is a first generation Federal Signal 500A/AT from the 1950s.
It was originally painted red but is now painted yellow.
It STILL works great which amazes me at how long that its been in operation.

Huh. :huh:
It's "Federal Signal", not "Federal Signals".
-
Oh. Didn't know that
Oh and the Thunderbolt that is at the Temperance VFD was purchased in 1974 after the Super Tornado outbreak and is still used to this very day.
Monroe County used to have a vast number of Federal Signal 500A/AT Sirens throughout the County. Mostly in the country/rural areas.
There was also a lot of SD-10 and Federal Signal 7AT sirens in use a long time ago.
-
Another Thing.
Has anyone on this forum seen in person a Chrysler Air Raid Siren?
-
We have no Tornado sirens. I know that for sure. We might have a fire siren but I think we do have
an outdoor warning siren. IF we do, it would probabally be by the fire station about 10 minutes away from me. ut I don't hear tests.
-
UPDATE: The Siren near Handels Ice Cream in Toledo, Ohio is not a 3T22
It is actually a Federal Signal STH-10

And also there was never a Thunderbolt 1003T, the Thunderbolt series were; 1000, 1000T, 1003, 2000, 7000
Edit: Whops, that's an STL-10 video not an STH-10.
-
The 2000 and 7000 were actually labeled as "System 2000", etc.
"1003T" is redundant, because you can't have the 3 without the T. Ha that rhymed.
