2011 Kansas Statewide Tornado Drill

This is the Kansas Statewide Tornado Drill as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week. I'm all excited/nervous because this is my first real thunderbolt video. Sorry about the shaky camera. I will get a tripod one of these days. This 1000T siren is located near Meadowlark Ridge Elementary School in Salina, Kansas. Comments are welcome--as long as they're appropriate and suggestive. Spam comments NOT allowed. Thank you.

Is there a 2001 near? I faintly heard one in the background.

@Ouranos94 Yes--there is a 2001 located near the golf course about a mile away.

@MrForkfan Salina doesn't have any of those sirens. Sorry!

@MrForkfan Thank you! I'm going to try to get more siren videos now that the weather is getting a little bit warmer.

@MKIIProductions Yep. 8 RPM.

[snootzie78]

@MKIIProductions I'm guessing so.

That Thunderbolt's Flyin'.... 8 Rpm?

@jayhawk29 Thanks! They used to go for five minutes during the statewide tornado drill at one time. But obviously, due to the fact that some of the tornado sirens are located at elementary schools--kids would freak out. Sorry about the shaky picture--will get a tripod suitable for my camera one of these days.
