My camcorder has a "snapshot" button, which creates a still image while recording. I accidentally pressed it while trying to get a better hold of the camcorder.
Good work, man! I miss the KS statewide tornado drills (I'm a native of Olathe). I have a siren test in my vids but you can't see it. One of these days I'm gonna skip work (or go in late, they test our sirens in Cedar Rapids at 8:45 am first Wednesday) and see if I can catch one. We have Whelen 3016's with voice capabilities but there are still a few T-bolt's around.
That's cuz the closest siren to me is a T-Bolt. If you look at my siren test video, you'll hear a 3016 much better because I lived about a 1/4 mile away from one. You'll also hear a Sentry that's independent of the entire system of Cedar Rapids, which I lived directly across from. Very cool.
Great sounding 2001-SRN, Dylan. Very nice video. :)

About 0:40 of the video, I hear a Tbolt 1000T. Am I right?

Yep you heard a Thunderbolt set on chopper level 4 in the background. :)

I like the distance you where from this 2001 and the thunderbolt also sounds cool

Nice video, Dylan. The 2001 and the thunderbolts are my two favorite sirens.

How did you take snap shot photos while taking the video? Do you have a special kind of camera or did you use special editing software?

I thinks Federal Signal 2001s were first installed in 1988.
Siren1000T 4 years ago
The older (roundback) ones were.
jayhawk29 4 years ago
Oh Yeah. Those are called 2001 ABs. I know what you mean. It first came 2001 AB, 2001 DC, 2001 SRN, 2001 SRNB, and last but not least 2001 130.

That thunderbolt you can hear sounds pretty loud. I wounder how close it is to the siren you are recording now.

I noticed that in your tornado warning video that the T-Bolts are more prominent than the 3016 until the voice of the 3016.

Oops, I meant you can't see the actual siren! You can totally see the vid, and I recommend it!
