Test of Whelen Siren at St. Lucie FPL Nuclear Power Plant

This is one of the Whelen WS-3016 electronic sirens at the FPL Nuclear Plant near Fort Pierce, Florida, being tested. Voice test from start until 3:21. Siren starts at 3:34. At 3:44, another Whelan siren can be heard activating. Wind down starts at 3:56. Other sirens can be heard in the background after this one shuts off. These are tested every first Thursday every three months. The next test will be on September 3rd. I believe these sirens replaced things like Federal Thunderbolts and 2T22's, but I could be wrong. As these are electronic sirens, there are no moving parts aside from the rotator.

All that vocal warning for a mere 30 seconds or so of actual test.

That would be scary if that siren becomes haunted and it turns into a Silent Hill siren

@SpeakerPolice lol, kind of excessive!

I am actually not sure if there is a voice message during an actual test. I would say no, but that's only a guess. :3
