Who would have thought that there would be this many hits on a site with sirens? After more than 10 years and 50 videos we are still amazed at the interest in these. We have recorded every make of siren in Amarillo. Any others will be repeats of models already on this page (Unless a new one is found). Big thanks to everyone who watches our videos and has helped us identify the makes and models of each! May peace be with all!

ACA Cyclone, Amarillo TX
Recorded Sept. 25, 2015. This is another of Amarillo's many ACA Cyclone Sirens. It is located at 45th and Bell St. Amazing sounds from these units. EDIT: As of January 2020, this siren has been replaced with a 508. Don't ask where it went as I have no clue.

This siren is slow to rev up but sounds good once its up to speed. Sorry for the shaky cam. There were several kids at the school along with teachers and didn't think them seeing me with a camera was a g...

They test every Friday @ noon. Birds were trying to take me out. At about 2:09 one gets about a foot in front of the camera. Guess they thought I was making all the noise!

So.. what happened to the top shroud?
KDKSiren why don't you upload anymore? And I wanted to say nice cyclone video I live a few hundred miles from Amarillo live here in Texas but central texas lol
For the most part, all the old sirens have been replaced with 508's and 2001's. Nothing special there. Also, I'm now 25 yrs old and have to work and whatnot. Not allot of time left in the day. Hard to believe how long these vids have been up. Glad people still look though. Thanks for watching and asking questions. I do look at them and try to respond when I can.
@kdksiren I understand that it's hard to keep up with a lot of them and it's sad that Amarillo replaced their entire old siren system but can you make an update video of the cyclones in Hereford? If you can't that's fine you know? But I wish they kept these cyclones and thunderbolts and whatever sirens that were there!?
Another thing KDKSiren is what happened to the screamer in Okarche? Like what happened to the shroud?
@@Texas_siren_fan125 Have no idea
@@kdksiren ok?
I never heard sirens like that when I lived there. Born and grew up there until 1982. Then moved to Borger . I only remember sirens once but nothing like those. Glad everyone was ok. And nothing major.
I saw the video of it dying
Yep. It was a sad day. Ha Ha. Travis came up to see us and record a vid. Went to re-visit this beast and well it was on death row for sure. It has been replace with a FS 508.

May I use 0:08 - 0:25 of this video for a "sirens doing strange or unusual things" compilation?
Sure. No problem
@@kdksiren Thank you. I will put a link to your video in my video description.
@@SirenArchivesI love those vids, tvhat is what brought me here.
What camera was this recorded on?
What camera was used?
Oh my gosh. Don't remember. Had three of them back then My favorite was a Sony model so probably that one. They all fit on my tripod.
@@kdksiren Oh, alright.
Hey KDK Siren do you know what they did with this cyclone and why they took it down?
Don't know what happened to any of the old siren system. Probably went to auction but not sure. They took the old system completely out. All that is left is 2001's and 508's. Kinda dull. They wanted battery backup for the entire lot.
@@kdksiren well what I wish (this is my moms account) but I wish I had this same exact one on plum Creek drive but someday I will get it back and I will make a video of it and I live about 7 hours from Amarillo (in Burnet to be exact) but I hope I will get this beast and I think for X-Mas I am going to get a mini one of these beasts!
They really gotta put 8/12 Port sirens back into production.
Would be nice. Probably won't ever do that though. The cost to make a rotor that is dual tone is more than single tone. I think Sentry is the only one that does large dual tone sirens. Could be wrong though.
If I do make Sirens 8/12 Port will definitely be an Option.
they’re like okay boys follow my lead and they yell loud for 3 minutes, i bet they needed a month or two for that
i do still miss our Whelen 2810's :(
You are using a 612 horn to get a 2t22 and a sd-10 sound effect? Nice. Where did those siren sounds come from?
Is this aca cyclone 125 or 120?
125 dB. These have the 50 HP motor. Quite the attention getter. Sad they are no longer made or the City of Amarillo has anymore. They have all been replaced.
@kdksiren the way you can tell the difference in 125 and 120 is in the wattage? And also look at the design difference the Cyclone 120 has a flatter hat then the cyclone 125 the 125 has a much more pointier hat then the cyclone 120 Also KDKsiren nice cyclone video it's a shame! That they took out all there old sirens!
She moves her body like a cyclone😂
What number does a cyclone next to my house but it fell down and the light fell down to my house caught on fire and then my leg got injured because I had to save my baby and my mom because they were laying in the bed and I and my leg is gone nowmy legs are gone. It hurts so bad and I bumped my head.
Good Whelen, I wish they didn’t replace them with 2001s
God I love the camera quality, I know its an old video but I love cmeras with this quality and audio quality. Sure makes it feel like a classic!

Awesome!
Fun Fact: This siren is still up today.
nice
Yep! Was in Hereford yesterday and it was still standing. Along with all the Cyclones. Didn't chase down the old SD-10's.
@@kdksiren oh, hello! didn’t think I would see you here
@@pelicanstatesirens Still here. Look at comments from time to time. Wish there was something new around to take vid of. Hard to believe its been all these years. Will soon be 26 Years old. Gosh how time flies! Take care and thanks for the comments!
@@kdksiren No problem! Wish the best for you!
I live In Hereford and we haven’t had a tornado it’s just that we never know
This thing would scare the crap outta me
Is there a p 50 or cyclone
All are Cyclone's. There are no P-50's on the system. Actually there is nothing of the old system left. The only ones Amarillo uses now is 2001's and 508's.
😅😅😅😅😂😂😂
This is louder than aca p50
This was the one near Houston middle school when i was in for 7 and 8 grade
KDK Siren Today is the anniversary the Lubbock Texas May 11th Tornado 54 years ago Today Lubbock Texas has the best Tornado Sirens in Texas Panhandle they have FS 2001-130 and now they are testing them every second Friday of every month at 9:30am for a 3 minute Activation and Wolfforth Texas fires their Tornado Sirens right after Lubbock Texas tests their Tornado Sirens on the same day just 15 minutes later.
Why 😢 F aca cyclone
It Sounds like a p50
The sirens heard in this video are a Darley Model 7 (12 port) and an ACA Screamer S-7.5 (8 port).
i could hear 3
And again, mechanical IS better than electronics👏👏👏👏❗
this is the last question, are they gonna test on wednesday cuz its the first wednesday?
I don't know the testing schedule. I'm sure they still do it at the same time and day. not for sure though.
i have another question, what happens if theres a house by like the cyclone in the alley on Avenue J or K or Ironwood?
I assume you mean because of the loudness of these? The windows probably rattle and people inside are wishing they moved to a different location! Ha ha!! I've been under one when it came on and believe me it's intense.
yikes
can they break?
and can the windows break if its like 135 dbs
@@ItsnotIsaiah I doubt it. Dad lived about a half a block from the one by the golf course when they were first installed in '81 and nothing happened. It's more the reverberation than the loudness.
Man this video gives me some very good memories, if I could hear this beautiful ambience again I would, can’t believe it’s been nearly 14 years time really files man.
It doesn't seem that long ago! Sad all the old sirens are now gone. Thanks for the comment!
You can hear a p50 in the distance
No P-50's were ever on the Amarillo system. What you are hearing are Cyclones. Sadly, all the old system is gone and replaced by 2001's and 508's.
@@Bob-c7l p50's were made a long time ago until they got discontinued
Hey KDK Siren Wolfforth Texas has sirens but think their are hooked up to Lubbock Tornado Siren system because in Wolfforth Texas there's four sirens 2 FS 2001's and 2 ACA P-10's I believe the P-10 by the Brownfield Highway isn't working still there's also FS 2001 by the Brownfield Highway and ACA P-10 by Frenship High School near Tiger Stadium and a FS 2001 in a new Residential Area I believe that both FS 2001's are on Attack mode and the 2 ACA P-10's are on Alert Mode.
Hey KDK Siren it's Terry who can Forget the 1991 tornado that almost destroyed the prison see tornado was a half mile away from the Mesa Verde area because I was four or five years old that night mom was at work on graveyard shift at the Fifth Season Inn East and My Dad had with me and sister that night and my sister started hearing me freaking because the Tornado Sirens were going off that night my sister had took me out of my bedroom and my sister started knocking on my mom and dad's bedroom said Rob sirens going off dad said get back in bed so we crawl into bed with him when mom got home the next morning me and sister had told mom what happened with dad I was the Truck with mom and dad they big fight over the problem that mom had with dad telling me and sister to go bed during a Tornado Warning that was most thing that I had go through with dad even with my sister thank goodness that sister was there that night and trying to get me and her to safety that night KDK Siren I wanted to share that story with you for a long time because I wonder if you remember that night.
Thanks Terry. I wasn't born till 1998. Dad lived in Hereford at that time and he doesn't remember that. But that was 30+ yrs ago too.
@@kdksiren hey KDK siren I wish they still had this one and the other ones but it would be cool to see the one on plum Creek drive
Man our favorite sirens are getting replaced by this one
Scrap the ATI and Replace it with a XT22.
oh
i have a question, do the SD-10s work and turn on with the Cyclones and Model 2??
In a word, Yes. The entire system activates at one time. The SD-10's are about 70 yrs old. Installed in the 1950's. One was located on the old fire department {Long since torn down} and the other was located at about Union St. and Ave G. When the Cyclones were installed in 1981, they were relocated to the San Jose addition SW of town the the other at the end of S. Main street. Don't know if they still work but since they are (or were last time I was there) I'm assuming they still work. But they are old for sure. Dad was born and lived there till early '90's. He told me about this. The original Cyclone and SD-10 activation was done through phone wires but has since been upgraded to wireless. They also would sound in the attack mode during a tornado warning but now just do the alert. This was according to Jay Spain who was the Fire Chief for Hereford VFD during this time. Uncle was on the fire dept and knew this also.
thanks!
the sirens went off today
Wish I had the time to go back there and get a new recording. Thanks for letting me know!
of course!
imagine if was a mix of cyclones and P-50s, also these cyclones sound reverse wired
Positive that all 7 of these in this town are not reversed wired. They are powerful and loud. Lived there many yrs and they can easily be heard anywhere inside or out. Great sirens!!! They were installed in 1981 and have stood the test of time.
@@kdksiren i noticed. P-50s and cyclones usually last 40 years if not more.
I wonder what Federal Signal would think if they seen their logo sideways. I find it funny bc that logo is at least the size of an adult hand and they still mounted the siren's head on sideways. 😂 Edit: Oh wow. This was posted when I was 57 days old. My bday is April 2, 09 and u posted that on May 29, 09.
