Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T Tornado Siren Test - Warren County, Ohio - June 6, 2018

Thu Jun 07, 2018 5:48 pm

Hello all!

Yesterday I went and caught Warren County's monthly first Wednesday test. I visited a Thunderbolt 1000T that is located at Oregonia and Jeffery Roads near Caesar Creek Lake that was a refurbished unit installed around 2012. This one used to sound like the Thunderbolts that used to be up in Centerville, Ohio (where I think this one came from), but apparently the chopper motor had to be replaced so now it sounds much deeper in pitch than it used to. I used to live about 3 miles from the 1003 at the Massie Township Fire Department (which last I knew had a reversed blower) and I could hear it really well from my house. I could also faintly hear this one although it is about 6 miles from where I used to live. This was my first time getting a video and being up-close to this 1000T during its test. Next month, maybe I'll go catch the 1003 at the Massie Township FD.

Hope you like the video! :D
