By the way I would NOT recommend using emojis it just looks more proffesional if you just type out P-50 rather than the P-50 emoji. I learned not to use them myself. Haha.
Thanks for the tip.
I did some research and besides Wisconsin there's actually 18 in Illinois, 15 in Texas, and 4 in Memphis TN. The old ones at Exelon in Illinois I figured out were all replaced.
If I ever get out there I'll take a look

The ACA Hurricane Mark II had a 50 horsepower blower motor, plus, a 5 horsepower chopper motor, I think the rotator motor was only 1/2 horsepower.
But, maybe that's a little picky.

You're forgetting Tennessee! They have a few and Memphis and at least one at a factory in Kingston.
EDIT: I've just now seen your other post MKE, it wasn't showing them for some reason.

Besides the Chrysler (180hp V8 hemi), the sirens that have the most horsepower today are the P-50 (50hp) and the H.O.R Super Si-Rex (40hp).
