This is a recording of outdoor warning sirens going off in town as I was driving by them. Sirens heard in the video are Whelen rotational sirens, one with a broken rotator.

  • OMG! You responded 2 years later LOL LOL LOL!

  • @HaisterCaisterShow Unfortunately, if you live anywhere where there's weather, you're not 100% safe from tornadoes. We thought the same thing here in Waco, Texas--that a tornado could never strike here--until the afternoon of May 11, 1953, when an F5 storm plowed into our city, claimed 114 lives and did about $42 million worth of structural damage. Interestingly, our only existing skyscraper, the 22-story Amicable Life Insurance Co. (now known as ALICO) Building was left almost totally intact.

  • They think putting Rudders on the back of them will help take stress off the rotators.

  • really scares me even though I'm in the UK and we will probably never get a single tornado!

  • Gosh I hate this sound... reminds me of that feeling I used to get when we were hiding in our basement during a tornado! Luckily where I live now I think were done with tondados...

  • We have fin-backed 4004s in our town, thought they were Vortexes at first too until they did a voice test over them. Reason I thought they were Vortexes is because it's rare when they do perform voice broadcasts over the sirens, most of the time it's tone only. I think they do voice once a month on the last Friday's test (tested every Friday in tone only, except for the last one).

  • test

  • I think so.

  • i don't remember vortex's having fins on the back of em....

  • Gee Whelens have pretty decent sound coverage! Nice audio.
