ACA P-50 Siren Test, Wisconsin Statewide Tornado Drill 4/22/10

This is the ACA P-50 located at Jackson Park in Milwaukee, WI. It sounds a three minute alert signal as a mock tornado warning for Wisconsin's statewide tornado drill. This siren sounded fine but did not rotate at all, so I added a few pictures to make the video more interesting.

Due to the fact that I set my camera up in line with the projector and it did not rotate, I got a full three minute blast of 135 ground-vibrating decibels. I also reported the malfunction to Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Management.

do they still make Penetrator-50 /  Tempest-135?

[RamFett]

@hootergirlsrhot No, this siren is no longer produced. ASC still advertises the Cyclone, though.

@RamFett Nah, the best new siren a city could get is the Sentry 40v2t.
