Pictures of TMI Siren System

A collection of pictures I've taken from May up until today of numerous sirens in my area. A bunch of Cyclones and Penetrators, a few 2001s, and a new Tempest T121 that replaced a Cyclone that failed the 2007 test. One picture has a Cyclone that died (malfunctioned a few years ago and roared for 45 ...

tonight I checked it out, and indeed there is a nice new siren down the street from the Cyclone. I know that siren wasn't there over the summer. During the annual TMI siren test on June 30, I guess two sirens in york county failed. one was in strinestown, according to the news, and the other was &qu...

I was driving in Strinestown, York County, Pa and happened by the Cyclone (TMI System) that malfunctioned and went off for 40 minutes in 2005..... it was supposed to have been replaced. Well to my surprise it has been replaced (though is still standing) by a shiny new T-121, for the longest time TM...

Re: A few things

TMI - 104 sirens in a mixed bag of 2001's, Cyclones, P-10's and maybe a T-128 or two. it used to be 96 sirens, unless they've added some. we're strictly Cyclones and Penetrator 10s, and recently, a few 2001 SRN-Bs have been popping up here to either replace the P10s or fill in gaps in the rural are...

if you can't hear a tornado, which is said to sound like a freight train, how can you be expected to hear a siren which could be any distance away? light sleeper or not, you can't be expected to wake up to a siren. we have sirens for TMI, but I will sleep through a Cyclone a block away from me when ...

actually, I'm that guy. Hi, I'm Dan!! :D the desktop picture I made a few weeks ago was similar, but a little different. I had a different P-10 at a different angle, and I had the active towers in the background. this time, I specifically wanted a background of the dead towers with a P10 pointing aw...

Penetrator 10 picture

http://www.paonline.com/dboyle/tmisiren.jpg A lone Penetrator siren sits in the backdrop of TMI's decommissioned cooling towers, a silent reminder of its ill fate 28 years ago. it looks real, but this picture is actually photoshopped. The penetrator picture was taken in a town a few miles away, whi...

The attack wail could be exclusively for nuclear plant emergency, steady alert for fire, and maybe alert for 30 second intervals/ 30 seconds off for tornado? Whatever the case, the public will not be served well by uneducation and confusion. I think they should make it to where if you hear a 3-5min...
