South Milwaukee, WI ACA P-50 Partial Tornado Siren Test February 14th, 2024

Happy Valentine's Day, alright. Milwaukee County seemed to be having some problems with some of their sirens today. I should've went to this P-50 instead of the Allertor that didn't sound off but oh well. This is located by the fire station and a senior apartment center.

Nice video Dan! I saw Jeff's video of the Allertor and thought it sounded like this siren didnt do the alert part of the test. Weird.

i thought this system stopped testing?

[@Siren1000T1]

Milwaukee County tests monthly on the second Wednesday of the month.

@@Siren1000T1 ik that but i saw a video of a p50 and it said it was its last test

[@Siren1000T1]

@Mitch1938 It depends. Tom told me they were to begin in February. Now that it's March, some might be going, but I believe it's still gonna be a few more months until ALL the sirens are completely replaced. It's mainly the dead ones that are most likely the first to go. I do plan to go to Merrill Park on the 13th. I'm making it my final Milwaukee trip for the old sirens since I've got the ones I wanted before they go. I would like to film the (Would be) T-135AC/DC at Greenfield Park once it's hooked up after being installed as my first T-135 to hear up-close in person. With GF's P-50 being my number 1 favorite P-50 siren worldwide, I'd figure that filming the replacement siren as my first Milwaukee new siren would be worth being my first T-135.

​@@Siren1000T1From what I heard, they are going for the P-50's last. I certainly hope that P-50 stays up to this year's tornado drill. As I want to catch it's last tornado drill run on this system before (hopefully) a T-135AC/DC takes it's spot.. As I've mentioned before, that P-50 is my childhood siren.

Did I just heard like a WPS-4004/ Vortex? If so that's cool in the ambience

[@Siren1000T1]

South Milwaukee doesn't have any Whelens. That was a T-135AC/DC you were hearing.

Sounds healthy

[@JordanRiley-ub4bw]

Why does the south side of Milwaukee County sound like it takes a minute for all sirens to activate and turn off?

[@Siren1000T1]

The county had some issues that day with some of their sirens. Some failed to activate and some only did half the test.

[@steveperelli3602]

It makes me laugh
