- (Filmed on 3/18/23). For this Mitchell County test, Dylan and I had our minds set on the infamous cursed Thunderbolt in Riceville. Dylan had been wanting to hear this for quite a while, especially during a really cold (nearly below zero) wind chill temperatures. We were hoping for at least some decent weather for the day, but as you can see, the wind had other plans. Overall this test went okay. I will say it was absolutely freaking hilarious hearing this thing in person. The cold really does have an effect on this. I do plan on re-filming this siren in the near future.

...This Siren has seen better days...
ITS NOT EVEN ROTATING!
Down shfiting
Rotator has not worked for years. This unit has already been indirectly replaced by another siren nearby.
I feel so bad for this siren, I am not even sure how the people who own the place haven't restored it or gotten it checked! Even replaced!
The siren has already been indirectly replaced by a nearby T-128. This will be ran until dead.
@@supertechnocat8253 its already dead enough PUT IT OUT OF ITS MISERY I FEEL SO BAD FOR IT
@@supertechnocat8253why is there no love for thunderbolt
3:26 the light showed up to the siren to take the soul away from it's misery
lol
I didnt see it lol
Just like the Brodhead Thunderbolt 1003
i thought the same thing lmao
Haha yea
@Sirenrecordingsoflowa I also feel bad for this Thunderbolt 1003 siren.
this sounds more like a generator than a siren
That siren needs to be taken down and restored to its former glory. I love those old FS Thunderbolts
How the heck did it manage to get worse without being completly dead?
I don't know. I'm just surprised this thing is still clinging to life after all these years.
when i recorded this just last sturday the pitch didn't fluctuate a whole lot for some reason like i thought it would
The cold really does it to this siren
@@IowaSirensProductions so the pitch fluctuates more in the cold?
@NorthCentralIowaSirens yeah, by ALOT
@@IowaSirensProductions well that explains it. if i knew that earlier i would have waited to record this thing. heck, i don't even know if my dad would even want to drive me there again, let alone during winter.
@NorthCentralIowaSirens I feel you
R.I.P chopper motor
Replace the chopper, easy fix!
I wish that were the case, but it won't be repaired. :(
No thunderbolt should deserve to die this way 😢
I'm pretty sure this thing in the extreme cold takes the place for the most drastic pitch fluctuations ever documented on a Thunderbolt (over 2 full octaves of range lmao). I'd still argue Charloe sounds worse overall, considering this one at least peaks at a reasonable pitch, but this one sounds more hilarious in my opinion.
Oh yeah for sure. The more cold outside it is, the more hilarious this thing sounds.
Isn’t every Saturday for 3 minutes a bit much
Silverstreet:
rip
Majority of the OKC metro:
Putnam county OH:
That siren is way to old to be loud good it’s not what it should sound like
The Chopper is not repaired :(
Nope, and it won't be unfortunately.
I wish i could buy it
it would sound weird if it was in hi lo tho but I'm not gonna be surprised if i find out that the whole solenoid system or the rcm3 is busted or fried
I don't think the solenoids are even functional.
They need to flip the switch off this thunderbolt and take it down this is not the way to live as a thunderbolt
Was that a Thunderbolt 1000 winding down after this one
No. It was the T-128 uptown.
Lmfao the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I had fun making the thumbnail.
1003 go brrrrrr
JESUS WHAT HAPPEND ITS EVEN WORSE THAN A YEAR AGO!!
It just gets worse as the weeks progress.
@ yea true
Charloe, OH 2.0
Pretty much.
RIP 🪦 rotation
RIP everything
Here's what happened the blower is okay the chopper is okay but the rotor is not okay because its rusty and busted and is overheating and also the rotation because the string has fell off or been cut
The brushes are worn, and the rotator is nonfunctional.
It sounds like N&W 611’s whistle.
I think a couple of months later and it will die completely.
It might, I'm surprised it's still running.
Boutta be charloe deathbolt after it died
Pretty much.
Why the thunderbolt 1003 got died
It may have been badly damaged by the hurricane, or rainwater may have seeped into it, or it may have deteriorated because it is very old.
Pov me when i see s soren that is not working: you failure where is the asian slipper
Steven He fan?
Oh yes, the poor thing is dying. It’s seen better days. Most definitely seen better days. This is for sure. it’s on its last l legs it’s time for new one That is sick my friend sick
It's already been indirectly replaced. But yeah, this thing has seen much better days.
No because blower is dead and the chopper because the the make that noise so that why the bolt is diediny
The brushes are extremely worn on this thing. And the rotator is non-functional.
My gosh! They need to replace that thing ASAP
The siren has already been indirectly replaced by a nearby T-128.
I wish someone would sort this thunderbolts brushes and rotator already.. and anything else for that matter! it annoys me, as if you have sirens, you should look after them properly!! Awesome video though other than that
Unfortunately, they have no plans to fix this thing. They technically don't even need this one anymore, as the T-128 in town is meant to be its replacement, so they're just letting it run until it dies.
@@Thunderbolt1000Tfan that's kind of annoying in my view, I hope someone comes and saves this poor 1003!
You never know, perhaps someone might. Would suck to have another Thunderbolt sent to the scrap yard.
Sound like bad brushed
Indeed. The brushes are just in terrible condition.
😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Let’s see how sick we can get and not function anywhere that’s a good one sick sick, sick thunderbolt, sick, sick, sick thunderbolt , siren. You’re sick. May you rest in peace bye
Still functioning like crap to this day that I know of.
Full Alert? 😢 more like struggling Alert
Pretty much.
Replace it with a 1000t
The siren has already been indirectly replaced by a nearby T-128.
Iirc this is ex independence
Correct
Bro
This is one of the worst Thunderbolt tests I’ve ever heard
Charole’s bolt is around 1% worse than this one.
At this point, both are pretty equal to each other.
