[1lincolnweather]

I saw this video about a year ago and it the sound worked just fine. Whats up with it now?

[cbehr91]

@1lincolnweather I don't know, I think stupid YouTube messed it up. I have reposted this video and I've tried to post it as a video response here but it appears that feature has been removed.

If you search something like "Grand Island Tornado With Siren Repost" you should find the reposted video.

[thrillbilly2]

Now that's a scary ass sound at the beginning of the video!! lol they waited a little too long to sound those off didn't they?

[minkyblack]

this is from 'tornado video classics'

[cbehr91]

@minkyblack Yes.

[letsbeheroes]

wasnt there a movie made based on the grand island tornados?

[cbehr91]

@letsbeheroes Not that I'm aware of.

[Ravagar]

@cbehr91 Yea, Night of the twisters i think

[lincolnweather]

@letsbeheroes yes night of the twisters is what its called its baced on the torando of 1980.

[l0v3bunnyx3]

@letsbeheroes Yeah there was cuz we watched it in class

[hawrnball]

@letsbeheroes The novel Night of the Twisters was based on the Grand Island outbreak. It was adapted for a TV film with Devon Sawa.

[talladegajunkie1439]

@hawrnball , I've read that book. I knew it was based on a twister, but i did not know it was this one. Thanks!

[arodaman]

@letsbeheroes Yeah its called "Night of the Twisters" Once in a while its on ABC Family but you can watch it here on youtube.

watch?v=PQfnBxEzuIo

[Luis6228]

@letsbeheroes yes, actually it's called "Night of the Twisters" and it's a well made movie, not bad for being on a low budget, but they made things as realistic as they could

[TErp308]

@letsbeheroes Yes there was it was called Night of the Twisters cause in 1980 there were 7 tornados in Grand island

[OctSkies2121]

@letsbeheroes yes it is called "Night of the Twisters" it is about the night that Grand Island had seven tornadoes in one night (June 3, 1980)....The movie is based on the incident but doesn't name Grand Island as the city

[lincolnweather]

Is this the same storm that predused a wedge tornado near red cloud.

[marshallmock]

Looks like something straight outta Twister

[agent136]

Simply chilling

[sepultura699]

Esse é dos fortes

[matyfigure09]

wow that's fucking scary

[hawkplaya94]

this is scary and whats up wit my comment

[superjoe87]

ACA sirens and a Thunderbolt in there too. Nice!

[fireman746]

Hear 1 2T22 and 2 Thunderbolts. Listen Carefully.

[soccerdude7330]

The first siren is actually a 2T.

[NJFire1906]

u can here a thnuderbolt1003 in the backround

[KSE828]

Definately does not sound like an xT22.

[KSE828]

I hear at least 1 thunderbolt!!

[lincolnweather]

I hear two.

[nightedge12]

SCARY

[lincolnweather]

What time of the day was this.

[cbehr91]

It touched down at 17:44 local time. I'm not sure how long into the tornado's life cycle this video was shot at.

[lincolnweather]

How fast was the storm moving.

[lincolnweather]

By looking at the bottom of the tornado it looks like it is moving at 50 to almost 60 MPH.

[lincolnweather]

Whats 17:44?

[cbehr91]

@lincolnweather 5:44 PM on a 24-hour clock (military time).

[lincolnweather]

@cbehr91 I remember that same day at 18:00 I saw a wedge tornado near Red Cloud.

[sizzlin321]

Underpowered 2T

[xRockEmSockEmx]

wow this is an awesome video, those sirens at the very beginning sound amazing, giving a kind-a eerie feeling.

[riddler716]

It sounds like an ACA Hurricane with a FS Thuderbolt 1000T.

[rachelwolf128x]

think i should change my mind about living there now..hmm

[matteng1997]

I cant figure out the first siren heard. It sounds like an ACA Hurricane. However, I've only been to Grand Island once so I'm not sure. It is not a 2t22 though.

[swaGa1nRz]

if i saw a tornado like that irl, i would probably faint

[buunieboop]

really? because i would run my ass home and then faint lol

[whyjay12]

I LIVE THEIR HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

[bugz000]

omg the sirens make it so epic XD

[garyhstorms09]

One ACA Hurricane and one Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T Can be heard in this video no 2T or 3T22s or 2T22s are heard though

[thecompanycar]

No. The first siren heard IS a 2T. The rest are 1000Ts. Grand Island doesn't have any Hurricanes. All Federal Country.

[BellyJae]

Sounds nothing like a 2T22. Unless its severely underpowered. I don't think the audio goes with the clip.

[judanmcgregor]

Grand Island does have 2T22's. The recording may be from the part of town that is/was dominated by 1000T's

[BellyJae]

Actually, I don't think this is the audio that goes with the video. At :10, the audio skips, as if someone had shut the recorder off then started recording again. There is no jump in the visual. It very well could be an ACA Hurricane with tbolts. The video could a GI video, dubbed over with any siren recording. I remember hearing this recording somewhere almost 10 years ago.

[MrBennetzen]

Does anyone have any video of the Grand Island Tornadoes that occured on

June 3rd, 1980?

[Druidly]

that tornado is HUGE T.T i've never seen one in person, and never want to =(

[dillonrockband]

lots of people, including me.

[dem0925]

well good for you. Do you know what a vagina looks like?

[dillonrockband]

yes i do actually and why are u asking me this? is it because you dont?

[dem0925]

I am only messing around

[BenetFleck]

Yeah, you obviously haven't boned up on your hurricane sirens.

[Antipwnsurmum]

T-bolt 1000T/1003 and an ACA Hurricane

[Antipwnsurmum]

Oh whoops. According to the siren board it's 1000T/1003s and a 2T.

[Siren1000T1]

Yeah its definitely a 2T. It DOES sound like a ACA Hurricane but if you listen to the wind up, you can tell why its a 2T.

[Antipwnsurmum]

Can't really hear the 2T wind up. It does sound AMAZINGLY like the hurricane though.

[Siren1000T1]

For series no but for how a Thunderbolt siren sounds. I didn't even know about the Thunderbolt series until 2007.

[Jamesmom79]

I lived in Alda (not Ada) when this storm happened.  My parents were gone, so I made my sister get in the basement and watched the storm.

[KCspur92]

Yeah! It was more than likely a 1000T and probably a 2T22...

[KCspur92]

Sorry! T1003, not T1000

[raymundciesielski]

glad to live in europe! It`s amazing to watching this videos, but i must be an other thing, when you live in this part of world...

[Jamiesyme999]

classic video

[squiddy7863]

yes! i watched this video in a Tornado class i took last semester. those sirens sounded nice on the loud speakers in the lecture hall.

[Siren1000T1]

I remember my freshmen year during science class, we were watching a video about tornadoes and it showed a Thunderbolt siren briefly in the video and I thought it sounded scary.

[elea1885]

it's so beautiful

[Siren1000T1]

I can hear a Thunderbolt 1000T, and a Model 2T or a Model 5T siren.

[Rcrby525]

yep, gi has had the t-bolts, 2001 SRN, model 2's, i don't know of any m9odel 2t's, i do know that the systems they have are pretty old and they havn't done maintenece on them since 1995,

they are radio signal activated.

[CoolBalla15]

Holy cow, that's a huge tornado! Pretty scary sirens, too!

[trainzrok]

looks like an F3-F4

[cbehr91]

Officially it was an F-3 but you cannot judge a tornado by the way it looks; only by the damage it does and if you can record the windspeed.

[davidlee110]

danm!!!

[jaywolflover]

yep that is true, but he has a point, usually the faster the windspeed the bigger the size

[crunkeyjimmy5427]

this is my favorite view of this tornado. The sirens sounding in the background make it sound really scary. Is there any longer version of the tornado from this location?

[cbehr91]

I don't think so.

[thecompanycar]

Those Thunderbolts sound spooky by themselves, but the 2T makes it so much creepier.

[trainboy99]

Hurricane sirens have fast wind-up's too.

[Rcrby525]

Grand Island never had any ACA hurricans that i know of.

[videogamer24385]

I hear a 2T and tbolt 1000Ts

[judanmcgregor]

G.I. just has T-Bolt 1000T's, 2T22's, and a yellow 2001 that i know of.

[Rcrby525]

we have 36 sirens, 100 in the whole county, we have 2001's, model 2's, 2t22's, t-bolts (i live like right under a 1000t, next to it anyway)

the city,. my brother in law who knows people in the EMA here, he said there is rumors they they may buy modulators or whelens, when they do, it will be sad to see those old fed signals go.

[antiwhoknows]

There's actually just 38 in the whole county. 31 of them are in Grand Island. I have started to make videos of the Thunderbolts.

[TroySundt]

hey also, what are the numbers for? I see those in a lot of tornado videos...

[Rcrby525]

idendifacations, they are pulled from archives and the archives have them numbered by date, time and location.

[TroySundt]

THIS IS IT! This is the clip I remember the most from a video I watched when I was about... 4 or 5... the sirens in this made it so scary!
