[asdfgirl83]

Ah, yes. The very sound that haunts my dreams to this day.

NSP does a mix of tones main ones are Alert,Attack and Whoop

[Metallocity]

man i wish south louisiana had sirens like this :( they just broadcast their severe weather warnings over a tv or radio signal. which is pretty lame.

[ncxo4]

that would be awesome if they set the sirens in attack mode in madison county which is huntsville but they never put it in attack always alert

[yodigi101]

i was in alabama on easter cause my gmaw had passed and the night befor her  funral thease siren blatsed off

[megs905]

I hate that siren. I miss the thunderbolts

[HardDriveGuru]

This would scare the heck out of me, especially at night.

@HardDriveGuru Just think of it was not 2:15 or 3:00 in the morning when they went off our sirens did went off at 2:15am twice...

[HardDriveGuru]

@csx2295 That would royally piss me off, especially since I sleep in the basement anyways.

[csx2295]

@HardDriveGuru when we had tornado warnings and the sirens went off in Brownsville, Tennessee everytime they went off i slept in the closet instead.

[HardDriveGuru]

@csx2295 That works.

[csx2295]

@HardDriveGuru I do agree it is hard trying to sleep in the closet its kinda to do do you agree?

[HardDriveGuru]

@csx2295 I tried sleeping in a closet randomly one night. I woke up with an obscenely achy back the next day. >XD

[ncxo4]

i live in that county its part of madison county. on the federal signal 2001 it rotates slowly. nice video. fyi that was a real tornado warning.

[Enigma1677]

If you can see these sirens are mounted on towers instead of poles

[davidlee110]

cool

[Siren1000T1]

That's Cool to be in front of a tornado siren while sounding during an actual tornado warning.

[bigbluecrane3]

i agree with you siren1000t1

[Coverdillem]

nice 2001! its cool how you got the siren and the lightning in the video!

[soccerdude7330]

Awesome video! I have a buddy that lives in your area. Gotta love the sound of 2001's during a storm!

[CoolBalla15]

Nice video. That tornado siren is called a Federal Signal 2001 SRN or SRNB..

[murrfarms]

DC actually, I got to see this siren in person. Very few of Madison County's 2001s are SRNBs, and I don't think they even have any SRNs.

[CoolBalla15]

It seems pretty high-pitched for a DC, to be honest.

[murrfarms]

There's no question about it, this one is for sure a DC.

[CoolBalla15]

Oh, okay. Thanks for letting me know. :)

[soccerdude7330]

Yeah Madison County has a TON of 2001-DC's, most were installed in the early 90's or so. They replaced a bunch of Model 2's and Thunderbeams. Now some of the left over Model 2's and T-beams are being replaced with 2001-130's. I seen a few of them in person not too long ago, and some of the Thunderbeams are mounted really low!

[csx2295]

@murrfarms We have two brand new 2001-130's installed in Brownsville, Tennessee in January 2008 they went off with the other 4 sirens on February 5, 2008 at 5pm at night don't ask me why both of our 2001-130's were going off on the attack tone the other 4 sirens in the alert tone i will find about our 2001-130's going off in the attack tone.
