As many of you who live in or near the state of Indiana probably already know, Hancock County is currently in the process of upgrading its tornado siren system. 22 new sirens are being installed...some will replace older sirens and others will be installed for additional sirens. I heard a rumor from Michael that the options for new sirens are down to 508s or T-128s, however I have yet to confirm if that is true. So far the only sirens that I know of that are being replaced are the Model 5 in Charlottesville (which has been dead for years) and a 2001-SRN off of US 40 in Greenfield. (Supposedly the Thunderbolt 1003 at the Greenfield Police Department which has a broken and radio issues is being fixed and not replaced...find it odd how Hancock County is seemingly replacing a 2001 but not this siren.) The rest of the older sirens are getting repaired, and of course the newer sirens like the T-121 in New Palestine and green 2001-130 will likely last for at least another 10 years.
