Tsunami Siren Test - Waldport, Oregon 9/29/2010

Tsunami Siren test in Waldport, Oregon as part of an evacuation drill on the central Oregon coast on September 29, 2010. The two sirens heard are both single-tone Thunderbolts. The echos off of the bridge and surrounding cliffs are impressive.

these are either modulators or 4004s not thunderbolts.

I've seen the actual sirens in person, and they are definately single-tone thunderbolts. They were relocated from the now-decommissoned Trojan Nuclear Power Plant west of Portland.

It sounds like there are more then two i counted ten wind ups or is that just the echo

@garyhstorms10

There are just two on the south side of the bay where I was, so most of those wind-ups you hear are echos.

The sirens were actually purchased from Spokane County, Washington, when the decommissioned Civil Defence. Until several years ago, there was still a Chrysler siren on a tower at a Spokane fire station.

is it just me or at the end, is there a very faint 1000T in alert, from when the sirens wind-down to when the video ends.

Excellent recording. In my recording, the one by the grocery store did not sound, but I see that the blower timers are still set to shut off too soon. There are actually three Thunderbolts in Waldport. The third one is east of town about a mile.
