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.
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. :-)
LOL at the start....."son"- tweat twaet "father"-look out son were about to be pidgeon popcorn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bbbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfather and son-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! LOL
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.
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).
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.
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).
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.
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.
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 :)
PPAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH theres people that actually do this shit. i live in chaska hahahahahahhahaha wow and you people are like complementing it.......haha wow how fuckin gayyyy
nice i am planing to record that when they test the sirens asap

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.

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.

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