An EOWS-612 with an Ultravoice controller.

Hey I was in Granbury during that time! We had huge hail and a lighting was terrifying.

[DioHolyDiver83]

Was This Located At Dallas County?

[rjslade]

@DioHolyDiver83 Yes, Dallas County...just 1/4 mile from my house.

I remember I heard the sirens too!

[donjuandonjuan]

we get some good activty out here in Joshua, Texas.... Get pretty good Mammatus cloud activity from time to time. although we've never seen any tornado's here. We got a strange weather phenoma around here. It break's apart at godley and then it seem's close back together around burleson and stay's to the south towards cleburne or north toward's crowley. It never really bother's us here. we get the cloud's just never the weather and i'm not beggin for it either lol.

[spotnike1]

the shelf clouds he showed were slowly spining if you caught that

[joant1221]

About half way through I see a lot of sparks in the background, you know like transformers and such. That's usually a good sign of a tornado.

[rjslade]

Agreed. Not sure why the siren was sounding. Looked a LOT more interesting to the north/northeast.

[SUPERGLUE55]

usually if the tornado is in your county, the sirens are blown just as a precaution. thats my guest

[rjslade]

Yes, I suspect you are right.

Although the NWS has algorithms that can resolve warning areas to smaller-than-county-sized zones, perhaps the city or county is not yet up to speed. Just a guess.

@rjslade maybe its euless 'cause thats near DFW airport my grandmother lives near there just off of Hwy 121 i think

[magicfitzpatrick]

I did a video as well

[etniesskater7494]

eows 612

[ilikstikz7804]

@etniesskater7494,im not so sure.

sounds like a 2001.

but thats MY opinion.

[garyhstorms09]

It could be a new 2001-130 Siren

[littlesirenboy]

no way to high pitched

[Siren1000T1]

That can't be a 2001 siren cause its too high pitched for a 2001. That sounds more like a Modulator or a DSA pitch but those sirens are omni directional types and the one being heard in the video seems to sound more like a rotational siren.

Irving, TX still has some 612's. That is in DFW.
