Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

It's quite possible. Newark had one Thunderbolt along with some Thunderbeams, but I'm not exactly sure when they were installed.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

Are the Eclipse 8 and STH 10 the only sirens owned by CVG? It used to be that they had 4 sirens, which were 2 STH-10s and 2 Thunderbeams. One Thunderbeam was on top of Terminal 2, which was supposedly demolished, correct? I’m not sure what happened to the siren. The other Thunderbeam was pole mount...

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

Matt Braun (thefandude21) took a video of STH-10 next to the cell phone lot at CVG yesterday. Interestingly, it’s still active, even with the new Eclipse 8 on the garage being that close to it.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

I saw a post on the Ohio County, Indiana Sheriff’s Office Facebook page that they were conducting a siren test at 7pm today.

Doesn’t Franklin County not have a siren system? At least they didn’t used to and only volunteer fire departments had sirens.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

When Hamilton County stopped the “growl, alert, attack” testing format in 2015, it was a 3-minute alert activation for a few years, then it came to be a 1-2 minute activation so that people would know the difference between a test and emergency. However, some quirks seem to keep some sirens running ...

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

I’m suspecting that they would draw polygons based more on the path of the storm rather than where the tornado warning covers. It would be good to give others a heads up as well.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

Interesting that they went off in that part of town period. I wonder how the county drew a polygon(s) to activate them tonight.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

That could be from the kinds of mechanical issues they have at some point, or maybe running on batteries, especially if low on power.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

There’s currently a tornado warning which includes southwest Hamilton County. Hear some very distant sirens, but not near Finneytown.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

No, it was definitely in Hamilton County’s system. I’ve noticed some maps that included it. Ian Murr made a map on Google based on the 2002 survey when it was still standing, and marked it as removed. Loveland also has a 2001 on Oakland Road in Clermont County, but is in Hamilton County’s system. On...
