Sirens of the South & Midwest
Приєднався 25 сер 2019
Hello! A bit about me - I’m Andrew, 17, and I’m from Enid, Oklahoma. I was born in Oklahoma City and lived in The Village, a suburb of Oklahoma City, for about 2 years before moving to Enid in late 2009 and have been here since. I have had a big interest in sirens, storms and railroad crossings since I was around 3 years old. My interest in railroad crossings has faded over time though, so I don’t frequently post videos of them.
Since 2020 when I started uploading videos here, my channel has been dedicated to recording and uploading videos of Outdoor Warning Sirens in the South (Primarily Oklahoma) and the Midwest (Primarily Kansas). It’s been a great journey here, watching my channel grow and become more known in the siren community, and I don’t have plans to quit anytime soon.

(Distant) FS Modulator 5020 | Full Alert & Ambiance | Moore, Oklahoma | 1/25/25
At 12:00:05 the City of Moore conducted a weekly test of their Outdoor Warning Sirens on Saturday, January 25th, 2025, the test consisted of a 3 minute Alert.
I’ve wanted to get this distant recording for sometime now, and Gabriel told me he wanted to come here this weekend so I decided to just meet him and get the video. You can hear the 508 to the south having some pitch issues. It winded up and was dropping pitch for about a minute after activating, and then it went back up to relatively normal pitch for the remainder of the test. Seems like it has low batteries. Other than that this test sounded great

I went ahead and got a recording of this new 508 today. Was kind of a double siren recording since there’s a Thunderbolt across the park, about 750ft from where I set up. Definitely a very loud test with these 2 sirens in my face. I’ll co...
