Forest, MS - Siren hit by lightning(?) while sounding

Mon Jul 07, 2014 9:54 am

So here's a new one.. seen sirens ripped to shreds, seen sirens hit by cars, but.. not exactly a siren sounding during an active warning being hit by lightning.

With an ESC-2030 based controller that Vortex has to be pretty new. I believe our 560Hz Whelens were hit by lightning at one point and McCord FPUed them. RIP I wonder what it looked like after getting hit.
