Here's a good picture a Thunderbolt 1003 I took in Scottsbluff, right after a severe storm.

Here are a few of my pictures that I would consider epic, first off this Thunderbolt 1003 in the middle of absolute nowhere in the back mountains of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Siren is fully self contained, as there is a building at the base of it with a generator for the siren. I have no idea what it's purpose could possibly be, it is too far from the Berwick area to be part of the Susquehanna Steam Nuclear Power Plant system. It reminds me of an installation that you would find for a military type establishment though there is none in the area that I am aware of.
if it has a backup generator then its a thunderbolt 7000 of some sort

This was taken sometime in 2011 or 2012 on film (fujifilm 400 or kodak 400 on my Minolta Maxxum 7000).
This is one of the sirens in Deerfield, IL, next to Tony's Subs.
Another angle of the same siren.

Here's a Federal Signal SD-10 on an old water tower in Pea Ridge, AR, right before a storm came through town.

Alright, here's a handful I have done;
This was taken about 7 years ago. I accidentally deleted the original photo so I had a video or something at the time that I tried snipping the photo off of.
Same siren, better environment.
One of the only STH-10's I have seen, especially in nice fresh condition.
I had more somewhere but I don't remember where they are in my archives atm. May edit post when I get more.

This one was taken on August 2nd, 2017 in Osceola, MO. I don't know why its sideways, I've tried fixing it but have had no luck.

I guess in a general sense it could be considered like a 7000 series except that it runs off of commercial power unless there is a power outage, the 7000 series is a self contained movable system that is designed to run solely off of the generator and would never be hooked up to commercial power. The generator for this one was definitely a later add on and not a factory set up, I looked around it and could see a standard transfer switch mounted outside to switch power over to the generator when needed. The question remains does the generator come on as soon as power is lost in the area or does it only kick on when a request is made for the siren to sound with a loss of power in the area?? Still one of the oddest things I have ever seen especially considering where it is located.

Just out of curiosity, where exactly is that siren in Wilkes-Barre?
