The reason why you think the rotator starts before the chopper does is that because sound is slower than light, the sound is delayed to you much more than the image of the siren that you see.

Today, at the Saturday testing of the Whelen system here in Oklahoma City, I cued your Grosse Pointe Thunderbolt to wind up with my mouse click at the exact moment National Weather Service activated our Vortex sirens. Your T-bolt wound up with the Whelens---and---it wound down at exactly the same instant the Vortex sirens wound down! I thought that was pretty neat!

@russelD9 What part of "will be upgraded with a new radio" did you miss?
-
i like that thunderbolt
-
That's why the two thunderbolts are still in service. The city never really needed three sirens to start with for it's size
-
yeah but what about sever storms? wont they need to warn the people of an upcoming tornado?
-
i found out that HW 2 remaining tbolts r still up cause the 2001's still need control panels and the city said they should sound in march. probably b the last time the tbolts will b tested
-
thats cool. like to get video of this one since it would b the only 4/5 port tbolt i would hear in person. if you could, can you find out too when HW will take down the other tbolts?
GPW is Keeping their thunderbolt, and only upgrading the radio. A 2001 will be installed somewhere further south of this location

when the siren stops, the sirens in the backround will b missed cuz all you'll hear from now on will b 2001's. hopefully this one will b up in march.

I was told by the owner of WSS that GPW may keep this siren and place a new one towards the south end of the city. And just upgrade the radio.
I hope they decide to keep it. Since there's nothing wrong with it.
