[joek0617]

[joek0617]

I go to Macalester. I was just walking around and I found this siren and recognized it as a thunderbolt. I'm gonna go stand under it when they test it this week. First wednesday! Whoo!

[DjPyro2010]

Does anybody know why they rotate while their not sounding?

[belladawn2004]

are all rotating one thunderbolts if so alexandria has like 4 of them if not more.. I know the one above the fire staion can be heard for miles around.

[cheetawolf]

no, there are a ton of other rotating sirens.

there is the FS 2001, the ACA hurricane, Eows 612, and others.

[Tannre0]

Cheetawolf is right, there are a lot of rotating. There are only 2 types of sirens, Omni-Directional and Rotational. Omni sirens do not rotate, they usually have many ports, AKA horns. Ones like these, rotate and sound instead of stay in place.

I live in Minneapolis which is west of St Paul and Minneapolis has a system of Thunderbolt 1000Ts

Hello! I had no idea that there was interest in sirens. I was just wondering where the interest comes from. Interest in weather? Just sirens? I am very curious!

[bethatonegirl]

Oh I know that one They have mostly thunderbolts and I have seen at least 3 sth 10's two on the east side one downtown and a thunderbeam on dale and university

[bethatonegirl]

Where are the other thunderbolts closest to this one?

[bethatonegirl]

My Friend amanda used to live by that one

[Sirenssneris]

Awesome video!

Is that an EOWS 612 next to it, or a sign?

[KBilt92]

Thanks!

What you see next to the siren is just a cluster of stadium lights. It would be pretty neat if it was a 612.

[Sirenssneris]

It would, and forgot to say, that Thunderbolt sounds healthy!

[sithmasterfang]

Now that is a very nice sounding attack signal. T-bolts probably have one of the best attack signals when set at the right chopper level.

[HickoryThornwood]

is that the one on snelling by macalaster?

[KBilt92]

Yes, it is.

[Nelso90]

There's another one on top of the Horticulture building on the state fairgrounds.

It's actually the first of this type I've ever heard.

[snootzie78]

Sounds like the thunderbolt on the Wichita State Univ. campus.

[CricketboyStudios]

Nice Video. I like seeing more siren videos from Minnesota!

[bethatonegirl]

Me Too

[Nelso90]

Dude, the recording's done, I just gotta come over with my laptop.

I heard this siren years ago, but I pushed play instead of record, and I was subsequently pissed.

[Siren1000T1]

I have a Thunderbolt 1000 on YouTube too. Those are awesome!

[CoolBalla15]

Great job on your first siren video. That Thunderbolt 1000 sounds very healthy.

[KBilt92]

Thanks! My friend (who's voice is heard in the video) recommended that we see this siren. He also filmed it. He had his camera and a microphone plugged into his laptop! I hope to hear how his recording turned out!
