- MY NEW TORNADO CHASE AND COMMENTARY SERIES IS COMING TO TH-cam 7/7/24 !
Salina's newest civil defense siren on test day from only 100 feet away.
Louder than Ted Nugent back in '77!
You've been warned...
This is purely a classic. I watched this ALL the time in 2016 back when I was 9-10. I absolutely love this video and it’s honestly better than most siren videos nowadays. Thank you for making this video. I’ve always loved it and I’ll never stop loving this.
😊 I thank you and I'm glad to be part of your good memories.

Same this is nostalgic 😢
Same for me

Siren in the background : I bro your mom is fine bro
The siren on the screen: wtf you just say
True
Lol 😂
I remember watching this a million times a day when I was about 4-5-6, and now I'm 14 about to turn 15 and start driving, time sure does fly. Probably wouldn't be where I am today without this :)
Cool. Now you can chase in your car. Glad to help. ;)
Back when I first got into sirens, I looked up “tornado siren test” on TH-cam, and this was one of the videos that showed up
Alarm Translation: GET YOUR SHIT AND RUN!

Ender Snow YOU GOT THAT RIGHT
Ender Snow fucker

Underrated comment lol
Mine said [Music]
Siren starts
Captions said [oh]
💀💀💀💀
Best recoding of a 130 Nice Job!
I'll be honest, every test day, I find the sirens to be relaxing because they "remind me of home."
3 distant thunderbolts and 2 distant 2001s
i never thought i'd be able to tell the brand of a tornado siren by the sound, much less know the different brands, but that is indeed a thunderbolt i hear. there's one right next to my old high school
Nice 2001
i turned my volume up at the start thinking oh is it really low.. then whilst its on full volume with ear phone OOOOOOOOWWWWEEEAAAAAAAAAA
so you ended up sounding like a siren
ImaginativeCraft same:(
ImaginativeCraft I got a laugh at the OWWWWWEEEEEEEAAAAAAA
Same
+Kristal Molina
LOL
Yes, in August of 2010 a morning thunderstorm with 80 mph winds knocked over the old t-bolt as well as causing moderate damage across the city and county. Within a couple of weeks, this one was up and working.
I hear a thunderbolt
Me too
Same
Is this a thunderbolt v2
Same here
SonGoku You aren’t funny at all
heard a thunderbolt
The Panasonic HDC-TM 700 uses 3-1/4" CMOS sensors. The clip was shot at 1920x1080,60p which is the highest resolution for the unit. Though not as clear as CCD sensors, it produces near-broadcast quality pictures. Panasonic stopped producing this model after a year, but similar models are available.
Glad you appreciate the production values!
You can hear one in the background
Yes
its the tbolt
@@brandonburkest6229 and a 2001 from the ambience
That’s the tornado siren I have in my town, it’s in front of a really old play ground that gives me the creeps I swear I saw the seesaw move once.
All the more reason to put a siren there.....
@@OtamaDragon ???
There is a thunderstorm outside my house and I'm watching this!
I'd be scared. Hopefully no twisters... If I was you I'd put all my stuff in a carryible box.
leon wilkins You must not live in the midwest. It's nothing rare, nothing to get excited about. Around here, we kind of get a feeling if something is off....
i live in wales in the uk. so i dont really know as much...
MarshalStomm i live in the middel of ohio, nothing happens around here eather mabey some near by twisters like yesterday but there really is zero reason to get in to your basement when the sirens are going off
but wouldn't you be scared?
Great video! I hate how the current 2001 models have pitch varies due to alignment problems with the collector rings. I like the T-bolts in the background too.
They test the sirens near me at 10am on the first Tuesday of every month. I've never actually paid attention to what brand/model they are. One of them is less than a mile from my house, right next to one of the middle schools. I'll have to check it out sometime :)
0:47 SIREN TIME
sounds like bagpipes hooked up to an air compressor
omg now i want to try this thank you
your welcome timothy
Ah yes, I remember this video from when I was in 3rd grade.
We have (I believe) 3 of these. One at the high school, one by the water tower and one by WalMart.
All sirens test on the first Saturday on every single month.
I love the sound of this tornado siren. I like listening to this tornado siren to
I remember watching this years ago in 2016-2017. This vid got me interested into sirens thanks for keeping it posted.
You are welcome.
I used to be afraid of the sirens but then I came to you tube and now i love em :)
Yes, as flat as central Kansas is and as calm as the day was, sound travels great distances. You are hearing many sirens being tested at once. This was the last one to blow. It replaced a Thunderbolt 100T which was blown down in 80 mph winds from a high precipitation supercell on August 10, 2009.
Good ears!
Thanks!
Pause
Turn volume all way up
0:46
start
This 2001 130 looks brand new
This was the first video I ever watched shortly after I became into sirens. Also that thunderbolt 1000T ambience before this 130 sounds is epic! I heard one on chopper level 3 and one on level 4. Also some 2001-SRNs
Glad you like this classic clip.
@@Fents_Post_Productions dude 2001-130
It's a Federal Signal 2001-130, although it's obvious since it's written on the box below the head of the siren.
The video ended but I still hear it because I had to make sure that it was a tornado siren test instead of an airstrike because I forgot what it sounded like
Nice video! Truly the most nostalgic video of my life, by far my 2nd favorite siren test video.
Thanks, I'll take it! Try my doc: vimeo.com/ondemand/thatseventiesstorm🌪
0:46 tornado siren captions: Oh
Imagine being out one day as normal life and this thing comes on
@TheSirenCenter
Thanks!
The Panasonic HDC-TM 700 uses 3-1/4" CMOS sensors. The clip was shot at 1920x1080,60p which is the highest resolution for the unit. Though not as clear as CCD sensors, it produces near-broadcast quality pictures. Panasonic stopped producing this model after a year, but similar models are available.
Thanks, yes the thing was WAY louder than anticipated, producing distortion even with a 9 db pad on the stereo mic input. Some audio peak reduction was needed to even out the track for posting, and you will notice that the video was shot in two days. The usual test day having been cancelled due to an approaching blizzard which left 11 inches of snow over the following 24 hours. Temperatures in the 60's melted most of it by the next Monday. We may have a busy storm season in Kansas! Stay tuned...
Thats interesting your welcome!
what if on test day theirs a tornado coming then what people are going to be like its only a test
they only test on fair weather days at the predetermined time. if theres any poor weather that day they cancel it and do it the next day at the regular time
most definitely one of my most favorite videos on youtube
And you're one of my favorite viewers! Thanks!
I'm a Salinan myself--we have a whole bunch of tbolts still in service, with the exception of quite a few 2001s.
Wow. Only a 35 second test? Huh. I thought it was going to be longer
This was the very first video that I watched for a tornado siren test and I’m glad I found it!
I'm glad you found it, too! 🙂
They always seem more quiet when its a test
I have these sirens in San Luis Obispo County, CA along with FS Eclipse 8's, and 1 Model 5
@jayhawk29
Thanks Dylan! Yes, I will do more videos of Salina's sirens as well as shoot storms. This was a replacement for a downed T-Bolt, but I don't know if they will replace more.
@StormChaseTN
Thanks Charlie! This video was shot on a Panasonic HDC-TM700. The sound was captured using an audio-technica Pro 24-CM stereo condenser microphone. The raw file is 1920/1080 at 60fps progressive scan. I used a fluid head tripod. NLE was done with Sony Vegas Platinum Pro 9.
Best of luck on your next chase!
i would make this siren 2nd place out of all sirens i've heard so far.
Thank you very much, Monica!
I would make it 10000000000 place so far
Video is great but this particular siren (Federal Signal 2001-130 AC/DC) is loathed by most of us siren enthusiasts. The 2001 is ok to me.
+SixR 2001s ARE NOT ELECTRIC SIRENS!!!!!!! THEY ARE MECHANICAL!!!!! THEY HAVE A CHOPPER!!!!!
+SixR Are you getting electro-mechanical mixed up with electronic sirens? Electro-mechanical is the same as mechanical, it just means they run on electricity.
sounds like a leaf blower. and it scared the living crap out of me when it went off cause I thought the one in the back round was the one in the video
+Lillie Hoffman Same but then i realized that 2001s don't sound like that.
+Lillie Hoffman Not meaning to be rude or anything but it's Back ground not back round XD
*****
Because nowadays people usually get offended so easily and yes its stupid
lol me to
+Lillie Hoffman The fact that I was reading your comment rIGHT AS THE ACTUAL SIREN WENT OFF
I have one by my house. There was a tornado once and it pretty much told me "get your crap and get the hell outta there!". So that's what I did. XD
try outside with speakers
GG neighbors died
I did XD
Golly, I hope you and your speakers are okay! :)
Check out the link above for more thrills!
EOWS 612 can reach up to an impeccable 5-6 miles in range...
Oh my god I forgot about this video. This was my first siren video I had ever watched
The sirens that were sounding in the background sounded exactly like the sirens in Marshalltown Iowa.
Usually on the first certain day of the month at a certain time. Places have different testing times.
I watched this video when I was in 6th grade
I did it for the money. Ha! Thanks for checking in.
Markus: What The Hell a storm Storm: Touchs down Markus: Oh no a tornado
My town has a few 2001s. One is actually located a few blocks from my house. I'll have to film a test someday.
Salina? Nice! My mom's from Solomon, my cousins grew up in Salina!
You're right, this siren put the "Motor City Madman" to shame. 😂
Today is the ten-year anniversary of this civil defense siren video, now at 769,010 views! It starts on the first day I'd planned to film it and all of the sirens are heard in the distance. This one did not work that day. I came back the next month and that's where the fade to this siren sounding comes in. This machine was removed a couple of years ago as all of the siren system was changed. At the time I shot it, I had no idea that there were so many "siren fans" out there! People who know which machines are which and the details of construction. But, they - you all - found this video in large numbers and some even look back on it with fond childhood memories.
So thanks, be civil, but ready for defense and keep an eye on the sky. - RF
What did they upgrade the system to?
I love Chrysler bell victory sirens and sterling m5 sirens
When your friend passes u the aux cord
Let's hope all those poor houses and people are never swept away under attack of a tornado. :/
Gotta love that disco 70’s style FS logo.
2001-130 with other 2001s and thunder bolts in the background
@Siren1000T1
Thanks, Dan! I bow to your expertise in sirens and siren videos. I hope to get a cleaner sound recording next time out, but folks seem to like my first siren video production.
I can hear a Thunderbolt in the distance
Where I live, they test these things on the first Friday of every month at 11:00am.
+Elliot Madar do you live in Indiana? i live in indianapolis and they test ours on the first friday at 11 too
+lizziepickle3000 ya, I live in in Indianapolis too.
I like that pan to the siren at the beginning.
I had one of these right out front of my high school. Yeah that's fun to have blaring during class on test days.
I was using just because I got a tornado maker and I just got angry really cool to use that to make it look really realistic
I could hear a Thunderbolt 1003 or 1000T in the background
The Killer Clown it's a 1000T, I'm pretty sure. Believe its the one at the Cottonwood school
I hear an sth 10
@@SuburbanStorms Its not a STH-10. You can clearly hear that its rotational.
I hear 2
This Siren is located at
1136 Republic Cir, Salina, KS 67401
It was, but there is no siren there now since the new system went in.
Thanks for the video. We know that tornado siren testing day is not an emergency. If it is, emergency officials can alert you, so listen to your TV or NOAA radio.
Sirens here are tested at 4:30 p.m. on the first Monday of the month. Tests are cancelled if cloud weather might confuse citizens.
I just heard the other tornado siren getting tested
@lildil39485
Thanks, Dillon! Welcome to Fent's Post Productions LLC! Nice to have someone from Allman Brothers country.
Nice video!! Will you be making any more video's of Salina's sirens? Also, do you know if Salina is replacing any of it's other sirens?
try standing 30 feet from a federal signal 2001 which is the name of the siren in the video while it goes of for a unexpected tornado warning because thats what happened to me and i thought my head was going to explode
I can hear a few sirens like a Thunderbolt and another 2001 DC.
@FentsPostProduction1 I used to live around that area. And yes, there was a t-bolt. Unfortunately due to the wind storm in August 2009, it got knocked down and replaced with a 2001.
This Federal Signal 2001-130 replaced a Federal Signal Thunderbolt1000T
Now that's a wake up alarm!!! I'm wide awake thanks!!
This video is what got me into the Warning Sirens hobby. Thank you!!!
Hey, that's cool ! Glad to be inspirational. You can help me out by sharing my documentary film campaign. People that donate will be in the credits as well as get posters, shirts, downloads and more. Ten bucks gets you in!

I here a thunderbolt 1000T Or 1003 and a 2001 siren
Where are the other sirens coming from i hear a Thunderbolt 1000T in the distance
One-half mile south of East Crawford on the levee in Salina, Kansas..
it makes a cool sound
I have one of these sirens right across from my neighborhood scares the shit out of me especially at night
These sirens get your attention.
This is a GIF tornado siren
Yes, it is a nice little camera.
You know I actually can use one of these to scare the fuck out of my parents in their sleep, because they might actually think that there really is a siren going off in the real world, shit, I can even use one of these to scare the fuck out of the other people who fucking hate me for no reason, but you know, I can give them something to hate me for, by pranking them with one of these.😂😂🤣🤣
Run it through a guitar amp. Haters will back off!
@@Fents_Post_Productions what is a guitar amp?
@sentry40V2T That's right, sentry, the old one was knocked flat by 80mph winds in 2008. A mighty storm it was!
My anxiety 📈📈📈📈📈📈📈📈
I wonder why this siren didn't go off until after the other ones did. (The same thing happened here in Kent County, MI, during our test last week; we also have 2001s.)
Where I live they do it every Friday at noon
Very nice video! Sounds great.
Just out of curiosity.. What kind of camera did you use to shoot this?
meanwhile in a state inside tornado alley..... god i hated living in tornado alley.
