Cool, I wondered if a map like this would ever be made.

The Thunderbolt's remains at 2913 Tyler St, Conway, AR 72034 are gone. They were removed to make way for a roundabout.

All Thunderbolts in Cabot, Arkansas have been removed and replaced, unsure if any parts remain.

In the "Sirens of New England 2.0" thread, Austin Johnson mentioned there was a Thunderbolt in Southbridge, MA at the fire station. I can confirm that, as of the most recent Google Maps image (October of 2018), it does indeed exist. The address is 24 Elm Street, but the siren isn't visible from the street, so in order to at least partially see the siren, you might want to look from the parking lot of the post office. Operational status is not known, nor model.

The yakima Washington thunderbolt has sounded since 2005. They sound it for New Years. But a few years ago they had to replace the wiring... Not sure if they've done that yet...
Own and love a Thunderbolt 1000 and a Model 5.

I have many hobbies and interests. And I love them all.

Gordon Nebraskas Thunderbolts are officially out of service and two of their three have been disassasembled. #3 (North side by water tank) is scheduled to be removed shortly.

I gave the city manager my contact information and l'll make a follow-up post later if im successful in obtaining the RCMs off the removed 1003. At this time, Gordon IS NOT selling anything until the project is completed.

Nothing has replaced them yet. I will update the Nebraska Map shortly as well.

Tiffin Ohio recently removed a thunderbolt and is for sale on an unnamed auction site. It looks to be the one that was in service on the north side of town. Description says it quit rotating and was replaced. (Not my photo)
