Might I remind the siren expert it has been debunked- it is the EOWS 812, not 816

I remember seeing that picture before and that siren was described as once being part of the alert system in Tonopah, Arizona for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station; about 50 miles west of Phoenix. The system was converted to ATIs a while back.

(Go South on Wintersburg Rd to find the power plant)

Well, its a shame that they were replaced by ATI's, I do agree that ATI sirens might not be as good as some other sirens out there, however they are not as bad as some people say they are. I think this whole ATI sucks thing should stop, because at the end of the day, what are sirens made for? To save lives! And an ATI siren does its job well enough.

that is, as long as it has just been put up, never ran, and never been rained on.
