Monthly Tornado Siren Works Poorly - Norwood Young America, MN - Sept. 1st, 2010

This siren was tested on Sept. 1st, 2010 at 1pm sharp on the first Wednesday of the month. It started to rotate, but as you can see, it just went around about a 1/4 of the way before stopping. Loud as heck, but probably will be replaced soon due to the rotation issue. Right down the street from the Norwood Young America Library.

Rotation issue? How about they do something about that loose pole issue? That was a bit scary to watch. 0.0

@Blue10AEMia i thought they would be heavier than that but since you and your friend can lift one up then i believe you

[stormchaser1000T]

@freebrickproductions it is? looks like a p-10 to me

@acedrummer2590 Actually ACA sirens are very reliable. The only problem occurs when you don't maintain them and leave them untouched on a pole for 20+ years. This howler has a loose drivebelt.

@Coasterintheyard how about a WHELEN 4000 or 2900 series both have Hi-Lo

[Blue10AEMia]

@stormchaser1000T No they are not, the P-10, P-15, and Howler all weigh about 400 pounds at the most. Me and a friend were able to set an allertor out of the back of a pickup.

@briefroboboy It's loose.

[Coasterintheyard]

Please convince them to fix the rotator instead of replacing it. If I'm too late, atleast tell them to replace it with something decent like a whelen vortex, restored thunderbolt, T-128, or even a 2001 (alot of people don't like 2001's, but there very reliable and sound real cool.

@stormchaser1000T

It is not a P-10 it is an ACA howler siren.

[stormchaser1000T]

@DasMidnightDrifter the reason why the ple is moving is because the penatrator-10 (siren in the video) one of the heaviest tornado sirens. every penatrator-10 siren test the pole always moves

if they are taking it down, save it.
