Tornado Sirens in Morris, IL

[BNSF2184]

2t22's are the best, too back Elmwood got rid of theirs 13 years ago. Fuckin Peoria county had all theirs wiped out by end of 2001 >:(

[Railfanable]

That's the time they do them here, in Cuba, MO, too!

[amtrak3501]

bad news. the 2T22 and the 2 thunderbolts are gone :( but nothing replaced them

[TommyBNSF]

@amtrak3501 yes i saw that. I actually saw them take down the 2t22 a week or 2 ago :(((.

[amtrak3501]

@TommyBNSF just 2 weeks ago?! why didnt they have replacements for them? and i see the sth-10 is still up though. joliet, minooka, and channon took down their older sirens as well, in all 5 thunderbolts, 2 sth-10's, 1 2T22, and a penetrator have disappeared

[mohkfry]

@amtrak3501

 there t-bolts are gone to?

[amtrak3501]

@mohkfry yep, both of them along with the minooka, shorwood(it was the one you could see driving on I80),channahon, and joliet tbolts all fell

[mohkfry]

@amtrak3501 Thats sad. glad i heard cuz i was just going to go see if they were there. that would have been a wasted trip. Btw never knew joliet had thunderbolts.

[amtrak3501]

@mohkfry yeah, the only 1 i knew of, as of july, i saw at least 3 thunderbolts in the town of North Chicago, though idk if they are gone as well, il have to check soon as i will be going out there for the november test

[amtrak3501]

i was in Morris last month and i found 2 T128'S, 1 STH10,2 thunderbolts,and the P50 along US 6.and of course the 2T22.

This siren is a Federal Signal 2T22 or 3T22.

I have heard a Federal Signal 3T22 in the alert mode and I heard it in the hi-low tone for fire calls Have you heard what an EOWS 612 siren sound like? I have heard what the EOWS 612 siren sound like in the alert mode and Westminster Chimes which is hardly ever used the wail or attack signal which is never used for tornado warnings in our area our two new Federal Signal 2001-130 sirens total sirens in my area are 7 4 federal signal sirens and 3 Whelen Vortex 4004 sirens includes 1 old 3T22.
