Siren Activation for Severe Thunderstorm Warning (Cincinnati)2/28/11 5:35 am

It's a weird, scary, and otherworldly sound that lets you know that BAD things may be on the way! Any time I hear these sirens, it brings back April 3rd, 1974, when I was 13 and all of the tornados hit the tri-state, not to mention wiping out half of Xenia, Ohio. When these sirens go off at 3 a.m. along with thunder, and it wakes you out of a dead sleep, the adrenalin flows! So does the fear, and there is nothing you can do about it - but get down in the SW corner of your pitch-black basement.

I've never heard the low tone 1000T in any of your other ambience videos. Any idea where it is?

[Jpressman8]

@LouisvilleTorn8o Yes it is the 1000T on Springdale Rd. at Daleview and Thompson Roads. You can hear it on 2 of my other videos.

Great video Jason! So the Mt Airy 1000 has been having the exact same issues where the breaker tripps for the rotator from the snow? The White Oak 1000T sounds cool

[Jpressman8]

@carexpertandy Thanks. Clayton dropped by on the way over to Shady lane a couple of weeks ago and reset White Oak's rotator. I think Mt'Airy is tripped as well because usually you can hear it very clearly.

[carexpertandy]

@Jpressman8 Didnt it trip right after a snowstorm 2 years ago as well as White Oak 1000T?

[Jpressman8]

@carexpertandy Yes.

[Siren1000T1]

It sounds like the White Oak 1000T is rotating at 4 RPM. Nice vid.

I love the ambience. What do you mean by "tripped rotator"?

[Jpressman8]

@mohkfry The breaker for the rotator is tripped and it is facing in the opposite direction.
