I was actually in this town when a severe storm came through and activated the sirens. In fact, I was walking right past this exact siren and it almost blew out my eardrums XD. There was little threat thankfully, there was a small brief tornado in the town a few miles north of us that didn’t do damage but set the sirens off anyway. The sirens in this town have only been activated during tests since they were installed around town, until that storm came through a couple summers ago.

Awesome catch. This siren sounds very healthy. I like the 2001 siren sounding in the background.

The 2001 siren kind of drowns the 612 while it's pointing the other way.

Is the siren popping? Sounds like the amps are starting to go.

[@thunderbolt10031]

It's the microphone. The siren is healthy.
