And Hopkins had 1 Allertor & 2 Thunderbolts.
-The Allertor was located behind the Honda dealership off Excelsior Blvd & 8th Ave, right next to the railroad tracks. At the time, there was a Knox Lumber there, not the Honda dealership.
-One of the Thunderbolts was located on St. Louis St, right next to Minekahda Storage.
-The other Thunderbolt was located off of 15th Ave N & 7th St N, right next to the Hopkins Water Treatment Plant.
Both Thunderbolts were dual-toned. I lived in various parts of Hopkins in the 90s and got to hear them all many times. I tape-recorded the Allertor in the 80s.
There were several nearby Thunderbolts in Minnetonka as well.
-One was located at 2000 Hopkins Crossroad, next to a school.
-Another was located on Minnetonka Blvd, right by Minnetonka Public Works.
-Another located on Excelsior Blvd & Woodhill Rd, on top the Glen Lake Activity Center - it was single-toned if I recall.
-And another was located on Baker Rd & Lake St Ext.
Just a few blocks north down 494, between Minnetonka Blvd & 394, there was a square-horned Hurricane on the East side of 494.
There was another square-horned Hurricane that I recorded in the late 80s right off Hwy 101 & Excelsior Blvd.
