This is a Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T Tornado Siren running in alert signal for its monthly test. This was located at Vetrans Memorial Park which was next to Harper Woods High School off of Baconsfield Rd. You can hear one of Eastpointe's Whelens and Model 5 in the background before this winds up. A Federal Signal 2001-130 has replaced this siren. I apologize about the video being blurry but the YouTube uploader back then shrinked the video quality.

  • does it have bad bearings it had a troubled fire up and wind down kinda

  • @lilaj34siren Sounds fine to me.

  • Is there a siren right next to that? In Google Maps, there is one directly next to the 1000T.

  • @austinizawesome95 Yes. There is a 2001 about 125 feet away from it or something like that.

    Hey Dan, I've seen a Thunderbolt siren in person, and I think the one I saw is out of service. I don't think a new siren will take its place, but the location is at Linn St. in Williamsport, not far from The Academia cyber school, standing on location in the lot where Jackson Elementary School once stood. That old T-Bolt never activates, but one time while getting my first up close look at a T-Bolt, an accident occured at Federal Avenue. I have that video somewhere!

  • @Siren1000T1 This siren has been taken down

  • August 2nd 2008 is when i listened to my first thunderbolt in person. The 1000 at the Elkhart train station. oddly enough, the compressor belts are busted on that siren as well.

  • @ekoslosky Yep and it should go off in about 2 hours and 50 minutes from now.

  • @ekoslosky Is this still up?

  • @ekoslosky There already is a 2001 about 70 feet away from this.
