The Pot Belly Stove

[Localonthe8s]

I have to get up at 6:15 every school morning to take the bus. Sometimes my dad drives me to school.

That's nothing. I get up at 5:10 AM weekdays.

My mom is still asleep when I leave for the bus at 6:40 AM, so she has no way of driving me. Of course, I could walk there, but I'd have to leave at like 6:00 to get there on time. Even if my mom drove me, I wouldn't really get much more sleep. The schoolday starts at 7:30 AM and I like to be at school by 7:10.

Yeah to go online...

I'd love to go online early in the morning, but there's no one why I can concentrate online after still waking up from a deep sleep. Plus my parents won't let me use the computer early in the morning. They only let me use my VCR, which has an auto-record feature, so It records the overnite playlist songs while I'm asleep.

Vic! Your avatar! I had no idea! 

I had known for months 

Well John....You're favorite is still the p50 or Thunderbolt? . BTW, why did you copy my avatar?

I didn't that's the picture of the Glenview Thunderbolt which I took pictures of myself.

Nice. I may take a picture of the Burlington fire station Thunderbolt, it's 40 miles from where I live, and the only Thunderbolt in the state of NJ.

They have a Thunderbolt in Burlington? I didn't know that, and I travel through Burlington (including that fire station) every week.

The closest Thunderbolt to me is the Jerstad School Thunderbolt in Racine, Which I also took pictures of.

There's a lot of Thunderbolts out here.  Barrington had 2, but as of May 2008, one of them has been replaced. Not sure about the last one.

They are a rarer version of the siren, though.

At least ya'll have sirens in the Northeast. Neither Virginia or Florida has sirens.

Most of the sirens here in Philadelphia are for fires; I don't know of any tornado sirens here since this area isn't prone to frequent tornadoes.

Vic, if you want, I can try to capture a picture of that siren on top of the Burlington Fire Station. I'll be passing by it tonight.

Sure.

It's in the Burlington, NJ "MAINTENANCE SHOP"

[Mike M]

Is this the one you're referring to?

If so, I've seen that. It's near the corner of US-130 and CR-541 (High St.) in Burlington City. Not sure if that is used as a tornado siren too, though.

[Localonthe8s]

Yeah!

I think Florida has some sirens at fire departments.
and I got a pic of a siren in Virginia also but I need to scan it first.
At least I have P-50s a whole system of P-50s

Pretty much every state has some sort of sirens.

Check out this page. It's been around forever, been has pretty much been abandoned for a while:

I have a decent number of pics on there. I also have pics from Federal Signal's headquarters, in University Park, IL. Pretty cool place.
