This afternoon, there was a tornado warning that included southeast Warren County. As I was leaving work, I was surprised to find the 2001-SRNB in Mason facing a different direction. My office has no windows, so we’re typically unaware of weather conditions or any outdoor activity just from being in...

Last I knew, the Crosby Elementary and Shandon 1212s were the only two still standing.

I wonder if they will replace the SRNB as well. I believe it may have replaced an older 2001 of the same age as the others.

Hamilton County has decided to still conduct the growl test today, despite the cold temps and little bit of snow on the ground.

Hamilton County cancelled today’s test, due to the rain, and are now scheduled to perform a growl test next Wednesday.

However, Warren County will still test today.

Here's a 1953 photo from a newspaper clipping of one of Cincinnati's Thunderbolts being tested for the first time. It was the old 1000T that is on top of Patheon in Reading, Ohio. I'm told that this was the first Thunderbolt installed in Cincinnati, OH. It’s still standing today, but obviously inac...

Based on the entire rest of the system being dual tone, I'm guessing it's a 1000AT. Denver had some jailbar 1000s as well. He...

I don’t think the old EMA staff members cared that much, but the current people probably care more and might like to clean up this portion of the mess someday. Several other sirens in Hamilton County have been hit by cars, leading to some major equipment being replaced, including the siren head.

Someone commented on my YouTube video of the St. Bart’s Church T-128 that the T-128 at Springdale Rd & Hamilton Ave got taken out by a car over a month ago. Yep, gotta hate all of these ANS street side installs.

Yesterday, Hamilton County apparently did a short maintenance test (likely growl test) of select sirens yesterday at noon. I was out of town yesterday as part of a long weekend, so driving to and from work today, I noticed some sirens in different positions, but one that hadn’t changed. Did others k...
