Last I knew Atichson replaced all of their old sirens (Thunderbolts and 2t22s) with 2001s and Eclipses, but apparently they kept the old sirens in place as some sort of backup. In this video you can hear 2t22s and 2001s, and around 2:15 I think a Thunderbolt 1000.

Well I attempted to get an ambiance of the sirens in Osage City, Kansas. They have a Thunderbolt 1000, couple of 2001s and a couple of Whelen 2802s. They sounded in attack surprisingly, but I wasn't able to get the wind up and was a bit far away from the sirens. They sounded a little late or I would...

Garden City had quite the show yesterday when some tornadic storm drifted toward town. Here's a couple of good videos.

The city did a 3-minute alert, unlike the 1min alert during the test. So as far as I know it sounded only for 3 minutes.

Thanks everybody!! That little 2T was kicking some butt. Yes, that thing was a lot louder than I thought it would be. All of Holton's sirens seem to be in good working order. Some of them may not look the best, but they sure sound good. An interesting note...I believe all of Holton's sirens (possibl...

Went up to Holton for the Kansas Statewide Tornado Drill. Holton has a system of Model 5/7Ts, 2t22s, an SD-10, an Model 2T and a 2001 on the far west side of town. I arrived a little late so I was driving while the sirens were sounding, but it still turned out to be a decent video. I'll try and make...

Due to scheduling conflicts, freezing temperatures, and conflicts in getting a waiver from the FCC, the State of Missouri and NWS offices located in Missouri have rescheduled their Tornado Drill to Thursday, March 6th at 1:30p. This DOES include Kansas counties covered by NWS offices in Missouri. It...
