Haifa, Israel Hörmann F71

AKA those old air compressor sirens from Germany. I really like the sound of these, you heard them a lot in videos from Haifa in 2006 during the 2006 Lebanon War. This video features a full cycle of attack, start to finish. Unfortunately the video is very grainy, but the siren is seen on the right s...

Re: Is there any siren system in Iceland?

Iceland does not have a standing army, and their chances of any arms conflict in the country are probably limited. I'm not sure of what natural disasters the county is prone to, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have any sirens besides the small VFD or something.

Midway Island (Midway Atoll) Sentry Siren

I was streetviewing around tonight on the Midway Island and found what appears to be a Sentry. A newer sentry at that! I know the US Dept of Wildlife has some work on the island, but I don't know of any military activities that take place on the island anymore. Wonder what the siren is used for. htt...

Topeka, KS Tornado Siren Ambiance

Moved and here's the ambiance from my new place. I'm a little over half a mile from the nearest Eclipse, four blocks away from a Modulator (5 cell?) and a little over half a mile from a 2001. Some days I hear the Eclipse loud and clear, some days It's the modulator. Luckily today it was the Eclipse....

Re: Kansas state wide Tornado drill 2015

Well last March I filmed Holton,KS doing their test along with WFO Topeka's EAS activation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4Tjptx_mqo Not sure what I want to film this time around. Holton has the best ambiance around that I know of. Where ever I go, I'll probably try and get the EAS in the backgro...

Modulators in South Africa

Seen an article on RussiaToday about South Africa signing a deal for Nuclear Power Plants. It showed an Active Nuclear Powerplant near Melkbosstrand, Western Cape, North of Cape Town. It has a couple of Mods in the picture. Found one on streetview, thought I would share with everyone. Interesting to...

I was about to say! Doesn't look like the disc did a full turn until after the siren shut down. Might need to be reported to whatever agency does maintenance on it.
