any of you guys know what sirens are used in Council Bluffs, IA.......
What about Bellevue, NE?
Counciltucky uses mostly 2001's, while Bellevue has an assortment of sirens, including an ancient SD-10 at the south end of town. I think that most of theirs are 2001's, plus some electronic ones near the AFB. Omaha is 95% T-128s, with a couple of 2001s on the west side. Ralston has two or three Model 5's and a 2T22. Boy's Town has three 3T22's within a quarter mile of each other that sound a steady, three-minute hi-lo. One of these is about 500 feet from a T-128 in the Omaha city limits (Boy's Town is an incorporated town surrounded by Omaha) and yes, they both go off at the same time.Bama2001 wrote:any of you guys know what sirens are used in Council Bluffs, IA.......

Omaha's system used to be entirely comprised of Thunderbolts, but around 2002 they were all replaced with T-128's. The last time I was there when the sirens were tested, I was in Boy's Town to record their 3T22's, and I could hear a dual-tone Thunderbolt off in the distance somewhere. The only Thunderbolts I remember seeing were one on the roof of the Mutual of Omaha building that hadn't been removed (a single tone) and the head assembly of one in Carter Lake, whose system is managed by Council Bluffs. From Boy's Town, I could also hear a couple of 2001's and what sounded like a 16 port Sterling siren. The only Sterling I know about is in downtown Elkhorn, which is a long way from Boy's Town.eaglecomm wrote:I'm not 100% sure about this...but I think Omaha may have a few thunderbolts scattered around. I was up there storm chasing last year, and thought I heard some.
There certainly is. I just this evening stopped to take pictures of it. I also took some pictures of the "mint green" ACA P-10 in Fort Calhoun. I'll post them as soon as I can.Daniel wrote:...there's an STL-10 in Irvington that goes off frequently for fire calls, and I think there's one in Fort Calhoun also.
I've never seen one, but that isn't to say that there aren't any. While I have not seen most of Omaha's sirens or visited many of Nebraska's smaller towns, I can say that the only roof-mounted rotating siren I've seen there is a 2001 on the roof of the city hall up in Hartington.Bama2001 wrote:Omaha have any roof mounted T-128's?
