Pikachu's second strongest attack

[ksioamaral89]

[Comments2010]

@captainbillshatner it's not fake, bitch!

[mochabella13]

Silent hill..... Q __Q;

[bugs3483]

Must be an earthquake siren.

[captainbillshatner]

fake

[MIDEVILTACO1]

[BeautifulMelody121]

1:26 is when it starts :)

[sisfers4evaa]

That sounds like Most of Arkansas's sirens,My kids go nuts when they sound!

[amtrak3501]

where exactly is this thunderbolt located? address or intersection?

[kurnellampdwarf]

I LOVE WATCHING 90 SECONDS OF CAMERA SHAKE

[pennsy6000]

@kurnellampdwarf HAHAHAHA!

[Robloxgirl11]

@kurnellampdwarf HAHAHHA lol

[dennyfrontier]

Why do the two highest rated comments say the same thing?

[timeslip325]

Shocked i havent seen this video yet. Is this siren even still up and running?

[Tronlegacy22]

I was only about ten feet away from a tornado siren when it went off once, my friend and i couldnt hear much for 10min after it ended.

[snootzie78]

@Tronlegacy22 You don't want to be up close when a tornado siren goes off. Those things are loud, and can ruin your hearing.

[AnnabellDream1612]

I counted four revolutions the siren did. When have one of theses in downtown grand rapids michigan. It sits on top of a building. And man was it loud you could fill the vibration in your body from the siren. I was city 3 blocks from it when it went off at about 12noon on the first friday of every month. lol

[LilKeke325]

i livee in san angelo tx and i went to this school called bradford the 5th grade classes were way in the back of the building a tornado siren was right across the street one we had a old ass one dat wasnt even loud until the city installed a new one and then we were taking the TAKS test and my teacher left the door open i geuss she forgot to to shut it as soon as 12 o'clock hit that siren came on and it was loud as fuck and it scared the hell out of me i could have sworn i went def 4 a hour

[vynlovespie98]

i live in ohio and montgomery township and their loaud

[megs905]

At least this one sounds really good and healthy

[Landotter1]

The sound of that siren will wreak fear in my heart forever. We heard those sirens a LOT when I was a small child, living in Kansas City KS. The 70's were very active weather years. Now, a weather entheusiest, the storms don't scare me because I understand them and have seen many tornadoes but that ominous sound of this particular siren will resonate fear within my soul, forever... Interesting what a sound or scent can do to your emotional state. Whooo... That sound....

[homerboy12345]

@Landotter1 ikr

[spskulls]

Welcome to America

[dillonrockband]

For all you people bitching, look at what's GOOD in the video. It'll save yourselves, lazy asses, bet you couldn't do any better anyway.

1:26, not that hard to link it for others anyway.

Awesome video of an awesome siren.

[megs905]

RIP THUNDERBOLTS :( I MISS THOSE

[homerboy12345]

@megs905 i dont lol jk they were alot better to tell when one was comign thought werent they?

i was scared of them tho

[megs905]

@homerboy12345 we have a Model 5 siren near my town of Niagara Falls ON, man they sounds good but scary shit! lol! I rather have a thunderbolt because they were loud and they mean HIDE!!

[homerboy12345]

@megs905  i know haah i know bad memories! lol

[alexanderbochum]

Mann hätte das aber kürzen können



[reptilelover666]

Siren starts at 1:26

[newsthatisnttrue]

I live in the washington township area! I never knew we had thunderbolts! awesome!

[hootergirlsrhot]

you can go go walley world and buy a tripod for $10 trust me, its good

[lovernothater1994]

i had the tornado alarm at school and all the girls scream boys said

YAY YAY i went home i mean my hous was across the stereet and i thounght ehh wat the heck and last when i heard this siren i said choooo chooooooo

[tyhgv]

this thing probably caused more deaths than the tornados themself

[crzy4MAC12]

man, this thunderbolt siren reminds of the ones in massillon!

[jeffrex67]

my schoolhave that tornado siren!!!!!!!!!

[xPillows4Lyfe]

OMG ITS KINDA SCARY

[best4bkp]

tick tock..waiting..but great video tho

[coronamuthafucka123]

FUCK YOU ASS HOLE IF YOU DONT LIKE THE DAMM VIDEO THEN WATCH A DIFFERENT ONE BITCH

[train2589]

@coronamuthafucka123 i agree. to many ppl complain because they cant wait. We waited untill it would sound to film and missed the wind up and got it about 5-7 seconds into the 30 second one turn test.

[blun3d]

Siren Starts at 1:25 in case anyone was wondering

[Howcast26]

eh.... WTF!!! What was that!

[costumemisshaps]

any minuet now oh wait no wait now there it is

[bulldozer950]

just all meanies i say thats a good video!

[DjPyro2010]

Siren starts at 1:27

[Timbrock1000]

Arvada, CO. USED to have these tornado sirens. but they took them down in 2001 and no longer have ANY way of warning the public of impending tornado's or emergency. Why did they get rid of the sirens you ask? Because they thought these sirens and their maintance & upkeep was a waste of tax dollars. Last year, a fluke storm caused a tornado in the Arvada/ Wheat Ridge area. Considerable damage and 2 lives lost! They might still be alive today if it weren't for cheap-skate Arvada!!

[twelka3]

is that siren still there

[ciscokitty8]

the siren starts at 1:26

[rhett443]

if it wasnt for the roar of the dual tone it would sound like a whelen.

[khaled6100]

@dockwellian45 LoooooooooooL

[khaled6100]

use a rifle to stop the headache source

[schomminater]

That is exactly like the ones we had on top of our schools before they replaced them in about 2000 or so. I only lived a block away from the school and you definatly knew when that thing went off. Too bad they replaced them with cheap sounding new ones and put them in different places.

[LegoReviews1124]

theres one of those behind a toyota dealer by my house

[cobrall009]

just skip the minute and go onto the siren part.

[Pawpaw14RS]

Fuckin hell thats scary sounding

[Havok116]

Just to help people save time, the sirens start at 1:25 of the video...

[JeffInDFW]

I love waiting for 1 minute and 28 seconds of nothing before the siren test happens. Uh, edit next time?!

[MichiganCSX622]

very nice!

[Minnexyz]

Looks like an old Grammaphone sitting on top of a telephone pole.

[BBallking63]

nice also check out fox river grove tornado siren

[mitko321]

Wow sounds so freaky and scary.

[theappleexpress]

i only like the ones that go aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr the ones that power down ever 5 seconds

[bait28]

you mean wail?

[PsYcHoFaB]

You mean alert.

[calimar28]

I love this siren! Sounds like the Andover T-bolt, same tone (not the one at the base, the one before that). Keep those t-bolts! Restore them!

[weddingcakes]

Dude, get a tripod. End a little editing would be helpful... when does the siren start???

[snootzie78]

@weddingcakes Don't feel bad. The last time I tried to film a siren video I got so nervous and my camera was shaking. Too bad my camera doesn't have an anti-shake system on there.

[TheDalton8080]

@weddingcakes The siren starts at the time 1:50

[ilikstikz7804]

ATI SIRENS ARE CRAP!

THIS I SWEAR!!!

[flippy941]

not realy

[mastermime67]

one day i was playin paintball one of these went off and every1 screamed because it was like right in the middle of the woods were we were playin

[BBallking63]

i like it also watch tornado siren in fox river grove

[nix4209]

shut up steve- just watch the video - stop being such a complainer - im sick of it

[TimeLapseSteve]

I hate to say this, but please edit the video accordingly next time. Didn't really need a minute twenty of non-action at the beginning. Most software allows you to do this now.

[qssneaky]

haha ya...For those that can't wait, it begins at 1:26

[dnave21]

put your in in one of them

[kagome122885]

Whelen is actually pretty decent for an electronic siren. ATI sirens, like the ones in Nashville, are absolute garbage. A Whelen will blow an ATI away.

[whelenvortexr4]

but i love the thunderbolt the best even better the a whelen

[whelenvortexr4]

thats what i would get a whelen because anything is better the na 2001 or federal signal model 2,5,or7

[whelenvortexr4]

i hope it will never be replaced but if it does i hope it does with a whelen r4

[whelenvortexr4]

just because i dont like spectralert im going to have to say this is the best siren ever made

[Dishodiwaba]

Can we interest you in some video editing software? Seriously, go to Fry's or whatever you have out there in the boondocks and get a copy.

[alarm741]

1:27

[TheSpartank97]

it looks weird

[loryr405]

i thought they didnt test sirens on overcast days.

[gerbilPROJECT]

@loryr405 normally, they don't. i thought. at least here in cincinnati. i think.

[ponyboyluver15]

dang

[gerbilPROJECT]

ever heard of editing???

[gerbilPROJECT]

LOUD

[jerry7200kodak]

i think it would be fun if i had one of these at the amusement park to clear a lone line waiting to ride the roller coaster. LOL

[ABBvodka69]

Haha it would be fun to have one of those on my truck, drive to the richest subdivision in California, and let it scare the shit out of them xD.

[CPRailRTC]

Good Lord, man.... haven't you ever heard of editing??? Ninety seconds before the siren even goes off! And invest in a tripod.

[dustindust151]

@CPRailRTC  87 dumbass

[angie11111111]

wow! that sounds exactly like the siren where i live!

[Dishodiwaba]

Eww! That's scary! Thank God I live in LA where we don't have those awful tornados!!!

[PupuTheClown]

,,PANSY !,,,,lol

[NiallMS]

How about investing in a tripod?  (Ebay!)

[ojtheprep]

lov theses things. I always eat outside and love hearing theses things ever 1st wed of every month.

[ShadxKnux]

sounds like a leaf blower. LOL

[illinoisboyinchi]

it doesn't matter how tired or lazy you are; in the middle of the night, this things WILL get you out of bed! :D

[KCspur92]

word!

[91Betty]

we got a similar one out here am from kearney Nebraska and it does sounds creepy

[shay6shay]

OMG here it gose again

[KUSHPACK23]

the tornado sirens where i live sound like Jesus in coming to earth

[MCRxfreakx3]

hahahaha thats true

[Rickatspeedoflight]

The Thunderbolt is incredibly loud in person. It's the loudest siren still in use. I once heard one in downtown Ft Smith Arkansas when it was tested. It's on top of the tallest building in town. It was very impressive.

[KineticsReborn]

I love torando sirens but another side of me finds them scary. the sound, the look of them..everything. and when you hear several tornado sirens mixing with eachother its even more creepy. and the sound of sirens starting up and stopping..its all scary to me. but i love them!

[AeroSpaceBoy130]

they warn you of the two worst things tornados and nukes, but i like tornados, but only when they dont destroy lives and property, they are beatiful creatures in the middle of nowhere

[JSB1983]

Test begins at 1:26

[skkydreemer]

My son has autism and is obsessed with emergency sirens. I am so glad that these are now available on youtube for him to watch. Thanks!

[rnbsteenstar]

I also have somthing in comon with you son.

[overdrivelovesfang]

i live in huber heights ohio

[Blue10AEMia]

Who are you talking too, me or the elevator kid?

[rnbsteenstar]

That's true.

[rnbsteenstar]

Whoo, it's a noisy siren, jeez!

[ruckerbo]

did you really have to show us 1:25 of nothing?

[firealarm211]

you can like the things that you like, and we can like the things that we like. and one of those things is tornado sirens.

SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE COOL. and you should too, because without them, when would you know when theres a tornado?

[ruckerbo]

Where do you get off deducing how I feel about tornado sirens? I LOVE tornado sirens. Just because I got impatient during the video doesn't mean I don't think tornado sirens are cool. Did you notice that the video was longer than 1:25, or do you frequently look at gray sky to pass the time? Slow down with your argument chief. It's going nowhere.

AGAIN, I think tornado sirens are cool, and you should stop making assumptions about me without evidence.

GOOD DAY.

[Andi33344]

@ajdolphin28 There isn to hear any Thunder so it can be a real Warning but i waS thinking at beginning the same like u at the beginning

[spencerdev91]

that would scare the shit out of me.

[BombasticTrooper]

that's what it's supposed to do

[moolaaa3]

that would scare the crap outta me we dont have those here

[Blue10AEMia]

get off youtube you douchebag

[Siren1000T1]

Can't you just be nice for once?!

[sizzlin321]

Get off of youtube you piece of shit

[russelD9]

how meany thonderbolt's are in your counte

[Draconis3276]

Are you sure that's a test? It looks like the real deal to me.

[firealarm211]

yea, in my county, they dont test them if its incliment weather, b/c then people would think its real.

[yellowgroove]

I am putting 3 of those on top of my truck, next time i am in a traffic jam i will let em rip!!! or better yet, cruise on over to the golf course and wait for someone to start their swing and set all 3 off at once!!

[richietkd]

i was at the fire station and the gas sirens went of in grangemouth and the whole station changed into b.a and headed there

[erich84502]

I'm putting that on my car.

[AnnabellDream1612]

The Thunderbolt 1000t is a force not to be messed with. The best sounding siren i ever heard.

[pinkertons10]

is that chord B-C-E? cause i think what i hear some of the other videos playing..

[freightrain2008]

ive never seen any of those in my counrty in canada, I think that'd be cool and freaky if they had those going off in my city :|

[6V92TA]

is this near Dayton, Ohio?

[danlc95]

I miss those. We hd them in the Pontiac Mi area. The ones we have now are weak, almost apologetic sounding.

[DrummerCoCa]

SCARY sound.

Listen to that bitch wail!

Thunderbolts are great, we have one in my city.  Love the sound, it's chilling. :D

Cool video.

[Playmaxxi]

Aaa Shitting noise sound -.- :P

[heyyXimXmichelle]

that noise scares me so much.

[minikiller23]

that can get seriously piSSy when its on volume 100 0_0 doh!

[Pkm188]

Shit I hate thunderbolts, our city had them but traded them out of FS2001's

[mariaD9]

what do you mean the thonderbolt will be back in to production is it truethonderbolt's are comming back?

[firealarmfreak529]

these are my favorite siren of all time. BRING IT BACK

[Nunnie2009]

It seems as though sadly, the Thunderbolts are being replaced with more modern sirens such as the Federal 2001s. BRING BACK THE THUNDERBOLTS!!!

[poisonpop666]

that sounds like my home alarm REALLY!!!!

[han777777]

BRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEP!!!!

[AnnabellDream1612]

T-Bolt's rule !!!!!!!

[poisonpop666]

that is fucking loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[tdbf2142]

omfg, i heard one of these for real back in St. Louis during a bad storm. :O

[Jpressman8]

These were built to get your attention the newer ones just sound more like fire sirens or leaf blowers sad to see these go.

[Jpressman8]

We have plenty of thunderbolts in cincy.

[RealKyMusic]

hey we have those in louisville ky i hate em

[XboxHerO3467]

[poisinlotus89]

Omg... that reminds me of silent hill o___o that would scare the crap out of me if I heard it srsly.

[BellyJae]

Hehe I dance in Centerville right off of Paragon Ave. I've always wondered what sirens Washington Township had, now i know :)

[halcyon93]

I've lived in Tornado Alley my whole life and have yet to see an actual tornado. But every Friday at 11 AM, all sirens within the metropolitain area of Indianapolis go off. Great way to start the weekend!

[OhSnapitsAbby]

i live in illinois and we test the first tuesday of every month at 10:30..we dont have weather permitting..one time they went off during a thunderstorm and the whole town freaked out.=p

[PGMEagle]

I love the fact that you can here other t-bolts shutting off after this one does
