Frankfort, KY Siren Test | FS Thunderbolt 1000T (1min Alert) | 8/5/2024
Surprise, I went somewhere far away!
One of my somewhat-newfound passions (that is, over the past year or so) has been roller coasters, so when my group (@mnsirens , @Snowcube and @JMANWiSS ) decided that this year's big trip would be to Ohio for Kings Island and Cedar Point, I didn't hesitate to tag along and make their lives hell for a week. Bluegrass Sirens (ua-cam.com/channels/SIrP6Jkqi9Ute-6xa73dsA.html) was kind enough to host us and drive us around, and offered to take us to this.
We made the call to go somewhat last minute, it was planned a couple weeks in advance but the night before, none of us were really sure if we wanted to do it, so we left it at that and decided to see how we felt come morning. Obviously, we felt good enough.
Setting up for this was interesting. I wanted to go round the back of the school and get an eye-level shot of it, but that kinda freaked the rest of the group out so I elected to stay with them and not risk getting bitched at. We ended up on some nice woman's lawn, which actually worked out quite well as all of us got different shots.
The siren itself, in terms of volume and punch, was above-average. I don't think anything will ever top Ellinwood KS for me, but this one certainly doesn't suck.
I think I'm finally out of things to say. Thanks for reading, even though I know nobody will read all this LOL

For the last 1st Wednesday of 2023, I decided to get this shot that I’d known of for… oh, I’d say a little over ten years at this point. You can prominently hear this siren in several tornado warning videos on my old channel, amberlynn6914. I got here with like ten minutes to spare and used every single one of those minutes getting set up - I had to thread the lens through a bunch of power line...

I somehow convinced Mikey to go to Valley View for our Thursday test. Looks like they need to put a new screen on it, birds seem to have infiltrated the horn. This is the last regularly tested 6M Thunderbolt within five hours of Dallas, and I try to make it a point to go once a year. Enjoy!

Picture in your mind's eye, the summer of 2013. Hot, humid, sunny. I'd just turned 13 in May and was living it up over the summer, as per usual. Sometime in December or January, I realized Cedar Hill had an SD-10 at the high school, and wanted to record it. After being told that siren was dead, I ended up diverting to this, only for them to cancel for cloud cover. After mulling over my options ...

So... This happened. Right after all my plans for the trip were finalized, Mikey Ackman and I were in a voice call and he kinda invited himself along. That snowballed into Asa Wilcox and Sam Rinne coming along, which of course was fine - the more the merrier. This was our first of two tests together, the second of course being Ellinwood. Despite being a 5M - the last in Sedgwick County - it rea...

Finally! Those of you who know me will know that this siren has annoyed me for YEARS. It's only an hour and a half from Wichita, it tests every Tuesday at 12:00, and yet somehow, no one had ever tried it... So I did it myself. Continuing on our general trend of not having any sanity, Mikey, Asa, Sam and I went to Ellinwood for the statewide tornado drill, and... well, ho-lee-SHIT. This is quite...

It’s me, hi; I’m the moron, it’s me. I left my camera gear at the hotel and didn’t realize it until I was halfway to the ceremony… Oh well. Thank goodness others were there to pick up the slack. Expect good videos from the likes of Tyler Shaw, Sweet Tea Sirens and Sedgwick County themselves… and one from me tomorrow, for the weekly test.

Proceeds to read the entire description*
Love this. Any idea on the siren in the background?
Creepy.
Oh hi lol
It looks like is doing ambulance
So nice texture
M
Notice how the rotator slows down when the thing winds up and speeds up when it winds down in between each cycle? My guess is it's a voltage thing. When the chopper is winding down, all of the power is going to the rotator, but when it's winding up, the power goes to both the chopper motor and rotator.
0:11 Siren Starts 3:06 Wind-Down Starts 3:36 Wind-Down Complete
Is it me or this thing rotated 1 second before blower and chopper activation?
Yes
@@TheSirenSeeker didnt expect such "fast" response, no really
That is probably one of the best reverse wired thunderbolts I've ever heard.
I hope this is atleast a daily test lol

Nooooooooooo, I don't know what you're talking about!
Nice video
This storm was crazy asf. Even the one on 5/28/24, that one took out my power for 12 hours. They say 80mph is a rare tag for a severe T storm warning but we've had it 2 years in a row now. I heard like 5 different systems on 5/28 including one of the t-bolts from Dallas lol. I'd like to think it's maybe the Royal Lane one or sum cause I heard it in carrollton
You probably heard a Farmers Branch Whelen. The original Whelen controllsrs went bye bye long ago, replaced with Federal UltraVoices and they run what the dealer calls “ThunderMod” tones - essentially, a toneset modeled after a T-Bolt. It’s fooled me a couple times lol
@TheSirenSeeker might be true but I've heard FB's sirens and the one I heard in the video I recorded sounded exactly like a thunderbolt. Honestly the one that'd match it closely would be the Vortex over on Welch/ the Vortex on Senlac rd but they still have a tone discrepancy. There is definitely a couple departments who still use those sirens
ua-cam.com/video/47mi-mdYt_E/v-deo.htmlsi=HcB2aZkir-BjYvsV FB's sirens are somewhat audible at my location too though. There is no way this isn't a thunderbolt in this video
@@dfwstormsandsirens That is true, if you catch the right shift @ the right station you can likely get a run up
@@dfwstormsandsirens Let's check this out.
Idk why people hate on 2001s they are cool sirens
@@WasteManDrew1 Ikr 2001s are amazing and punchy too, especially the Roundbacks. If I hated 2001s I wouldn't make a miniature Roundback.

Guys i live at Bourbonnais and richton park

I saw these ones before
As of 2024, this is now the only remaining FS&S 2T22 in the entire State of Hawaiʻi.
Yep. So sad that there’s only 2 Mechanical sirens left in Maui that are Active.
Why what happened to the other one
@@JohnnyPrones the other one in Hana got removed
@@Pro19910 oh. Why isn’t this siren activating.
@@JohnnyPrones this 2T22 was already replaced and somehow wasn’t removed. The new siren is at Kilohana Park.
I'm sure as hell glad I can't hear that in my hometown, because not only would it be annoying, it would also damage my hearing, lucky me, my God I could die cranky now.
dallas is my city
0:15 siren activates 3:28 siren stops
Imagine waiting at a traffic light and this thing goes off....
Doesn’t sound bad….

Classsic P-50 moment
This replaced a GCS
Where is this?
The VA hospital on the south side of Dallas
Thanks
This siren is still up and left abandoned in place as of 2024 according to the most recent Google Earth satellite imagery.
Really? Left abandoned? Buying a controller from federal signal eclipse 8s might help 😂😂😂
@@ZacharyHappy366 Yes, left abandoned as I think the contractor forgot to remove it after installing the new FS MOD-6024B near Kilohana Park. Buying a new controller for this siren won't do much as I believe it has motor issues, also the 6024B fills the gap perfectly.
@@ParadiseSirens just replace it with the parts at west shore
@@ZacharyHappy366 Wouldn't make sense to repair this siren as it has already been replaced as I've mentioned before.
@@ParadiseSirens does the 1212 at wailea work? It’s marked as maintenance required and in the middle of the wailea Beach resort parking lot. I don’t know how to access that siren of whereabouts and why it’s placed there.

I absolutely love this one’s sound!
like the echoes its so incredible
1:04 when your voice cracks:
that rotator is clapped
3:11 Dude how come it’s still clear to see through that truck passing by?!
