I'm about three miles from there, near the siren near the train station.

I hear a T-135. And that's a huge storm!

[gsbrickner]

I do believe that the siren is an American Signal T-135. The Village has been buying this model for the last few years.

Either Lombard or a town really close by has a couple of thunderbolts. Ones's is right on a highway, and another one is by the fire department.

Speaking of Thunderbolts...

I grew up in Chicago to the weekly test of the Thunderbolt siren. I still see one now and then in the older suburbs.
