  • nice i am planing to record that when they test the sirens asap

  • Sick siren!

  • is this pretty much a rotating SD-10

  • i live in chaska

    i hate this thing so much

  • Is it me or do these sirens make me want to see something really bad happen? Anyone for a catastrophic event to make this world reset? Bank accounts? debt? Reduce crime rate? or well current. and population control... My personal favorite.

  • Great sound--one of my favorites!

  • it seems that minnesota has the same sirens in all cities lol

  • You owe me two new ears.

  • I live in Chaska near downtown. I hate this siren. You can barely hear it from just a few blocks away because it's blocked by so many trees and buildings. I wish we had a refurbished t-bolt. :-)

  • wow since chaska is a new city ( i think ) i has a better sound in chaska

  • wow nice quality!!! my cousin lives in chaska!!!!! i think she heard that!! lolz!!!

  • LOL at the start....."son"- tweat twaet "father"-look out son were about to be pidgeon popcorn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bbbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfather and son-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! LOL

  • Cottage Grove, MN used to have one of these, only to be replaced by what I believe is a Federal Signal Siren.

  • This is a VERY healthy Allertor! It's delightful to listen to.

  • Has a pretty good pick-up. I like older sirens vs. the standard gray FS-2001's that dominate most of my region. THOUGH, last Fall (2009), I discovered a Thunderbolt on the Aitkin PD, and just recently, mind-blowing that I never noticed it, a 3T22 in Eveleth. How I ever missed it is beyond me, but next time I see my doctor, oh man, I gotta take a pic with my cell!

    Yeah, bit of a siren nut, but that's due to my love for storms/tornadoes and disaster movies.

  • Comment removed

  • I just realized the other day that there are actually 6 sirens in my town. They're all Thunderbolts! I've only seen 3 of them, though.

  • Congrats!!! Thunderbolts are quite nice sirens. BTW, do they have DC back-up?

    Oh, and I must stand corrected. I took three pics of the Federal Signal on the 26th, and as it would turn out, it's actually a 2T22. I did not see any boxes for solenoids, which is, of course, the trait of the 3T22.

  • I'm honestly not sure whether or not they have DC back-up, but I suspect they do. And the boxes are actually a bit hard to notice if you're not looking for them (although that's probably just me, since I tend to be fairly oblivious xD).

  • I just saw a different Allertor video and it sounded higher so congrats you found a rare 8/12 Allertor!

  • This isn't a 8/12 model, it's just a single phase 9/12 with the 10hp Doerr motor. It sounds like it has a blown/dry run capacitor, which is what's making it lower pitched.

  • Capacitor run motors suck.

  • They're actually some of the best, as long as you stay on top of checking the capacitors in the motor starter box. They'll pretty much run forever as long as they're not overloaded or damaged by natural causes (i.e. lightning strike).

  • Amp draw is my problem 200+ on start up

  • The Sirens by my house are really annoying. And they take like ten minutes to turn off

  • you know i was walking by one of them by the CCC and it went off. it scared the shit outta me at first..... then i couldnt hear my music so i got angry.

  • At the end, you can see the color of it clearer because the sun shines on it.

  • Very good sounding allertor. Nice shot from right under it. I don't know how people can handle standing right under a tornado siren without hearing protection on.

  • is that allertor still there or have they done replaced it?

  • i rember in the summer i was just sitting there with my girlfriend backs against it then it whent off she was like "AHHH" screaming then i hugged her i was liek :)

  • I grew up right by this sucker! Haha.

  • i bet some guy at an office presses the button to test it and man that have to be awesome

  • I. LOVE. THIS. SIREN!

  • that one looks new and clean ... WOW NICE !!!

  • At the end it almost sounds like an airplane going down, LOL!

  • How the hell could you stand out there that long!

  • He probably was wearing earplugs. ;)

    Great video!

  • GO TO HELL

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

  • reall y go to hell dont fuck with me kid nice shit though on u channel HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • How would you feel if we all said that to you on one of your own interests?

  • Another allertor rotating the right way.

  • Nice job recording that 9/12 port Allertor. The quality looks awesome! 5 stars!

  • Awesome video, man! Good to see that you're interested in tornado sirens! :D
