Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T | Attack & Alert | Paducah, KY (McCracken Co.Tornado Siren Test)

Originally Recorded 6/5/2021
Here's a monthly test of one of Paducah's remaining Thunderbolts. This one is located atop Lourdes Hospital. It's a very iconic siren, seen just as you enter Paducah from I-24. There's a weird delay with the rotator but other than that, it sounds great. Throughout the test you can hear another bolt peep in from time to time. I assume it's the one with the missing horn bolts which is still chugging along. I'm just glad I was able to record this one before it eventually gets replaced. I believe at this point all of Paducah's remaining Thunderbolts (and a couple that are gone) have been recorded at least once. The county has been replacing the Thunderbolts as they fail so I'm hoping to grab as many recordings from the area before it becomes 2001 land. My next goal is Lone Oak, a redo of the Concord Elem siren, an ambience, and hopefully an STH-10.
Sirens in McCracken County are tested on the first Saturday of the month at 1PM, Central. Tests are not conducted when it's overcast or on holiday weekends, though I've noticed a few exceptions to the latter.
Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. I was hoping to get this video up earlier, but problems with my editing software prevented me otherwise. Expect a more routine upload schedule to follow.
