Wow, those choppers are crystal clear on the 5T! Great shots!
Thank you! I am planning to take a trip up to the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cuyahoga Heights to see if I can get any pictures of the Thunderbolt 1000T there. It’s deep in the plant and there’s a huge perimeter fence around it so I may not be able to get shots of it, let alone see it because it’s on their property and there’s a security gate you must pass through to get in and it may be obstructed by something.
As far as videos go, I am planning to get a video of either the Federal 508 at Waite Elementary in Medina or the Sentry 40V2T in Litchfield Township for Medina County’s Test this weekend (the 508 being more likely since it’s less of a drive) and next weekend if I can make it I will attempt at recording one of those sirens in Independence. I want to call their FD to confirm a few things because their 5T’s I’ve never heard before (only the Thunderbolts and the last 5T I was at failed to activate). But that may have been due to their test time change, something else I also need to confirm. I might go to the Thunderbolt or the recently restored 5T that was taken down, repainted, and appears to be back online. After all, why repaint a siren on a pole and not use it? I want to ask their FD about that too, because I may go to one of those 5AT’s instead since Independence tests Alert and Attack, or the Yellow jailbar Thunderbolt since it sounds a lot healthier than the white one does. Or I may revisit the white 5T and hope it goes off. We’ll have to see, hopefully I can find out some further info and hopefully those 5AT’s are in fact up and working because I’ve been dying to hear one and they have like 5 of them so I hope they’re not broken. But as I said earlier, why repaint a siren and leave it hooked to power if it doesn’t work? We’ll see what happens.
