FS Thunderbolt 1000T - Stuart Academy - Louisville, KY - November 2024
This - quality speaking - my worst video in years. I had little time to get to this siren before the test started, so you'll notice shaky, wavy video and audio issues.
However, the siren sounds great in person and while it is among the quietest in the system, it still packs such a punch that people around the college grounds stopped and stared as it wailed for 3 minutes.
I'll try to get a better recording of it as soon as possible, but I'm glad it's at least been documented.

FS Thunderbolt 1000T - Klondike Lane Elementary School - Louisville, KY - April 2024
Переглядів 7347 місяців тому
Y'ALL- this siren blew me away! It may be the loudest Thunderbolt in our city second to Wilder (zero evidence but I've heard them all in person). I don't know why, but it really gives off "Wilder" vibes. Wilder is, of course, my favorite bolt in the system. Can anyone identify the blower? I sure can't. Klondike's bolt, while not super pretty, is doing alright! EDIT: Before you ask: yes, Louisvi...

Another Louisville Thunderbolt standing strong and sounding fierce! This was recorded on the regularly scheduled test day - 2nd Tuesday of the month at noon! This Thunderbolt has gone thru many changes, from head replacements to blower replacements, but it still sounds great! Siren on the map here: tinyurl.com/mr3ztdb5

Well, I just got in from Charleston, SC last night. This morning I realized I did not have my camera or my tripod. So here's the J-Town bolt shot on my iPhone! No image stabilization, no smooth zoom, in fact you see my finger covering the lenses for some of it idc. I do have the 15 Pro Max, and I must say it looks decent! Next week I will be more prepared, but honestly this is my first 4K uploa...

Apologies in advance for the shaky video! I left the mount at home and did my best with my arm on the car and the optical video stabilization. Good news is I didn't get kicked off the property this time, and got to hear an incredibly healthy and LOUD Thunderbolt. This siren was originally located feet away and marginally higher on Seneca High School's roof. Who knows if any of that siren is sti...

Publishing this today (9/12/23) instead of holding off since this is so closely tied to Olmsted’s Thunderbolt now. You can find that recording from Sept 2023 in my videos! Anyway, I didn’t realize I would be one of the last to hear this Thunderbolt in person. This siren, as seen in this video, was located along Dixie Highway on Kerrick Lane at the Pleasure Ridge Fire Department Station 87. I’m ...

This is, I think, the 4th time I have recorded at Olmsted in 15 years. Long story here, but earlier this year Louisville replaced the Thunderbolt at Pleasure Ridge (PRP) Fire Department Station 87. After speaking with @Glist_ this morning (I am out of the loop on my own cities sirens!), I learned that shortly after PRP was replaced, the previous chopper on this siren at Olmsted failed, so they ...

Frankfort has it all! Thunderbolts, 508s, SD-10s, 2001s, and STH-10s. I went to a central spot in Frankfort and set my mic on "high gain" mode. Here is what I got. If you want more of Frankfort, check out my older videos. I'll head there next month to get a close-up recording of a 'bolt to show you guys! Thanks a 'mil! Tyler

Another healthy Thunderbolt in Louisville! This one is located at Minor Lane Elementary in the south side of Louisville. It's one of a few 'bolts in the city on a higher chopper level. When it was initially installed, it was platform mounted. You can find a video of that setup in my older uploads. Regardless, today it looks and sounds great! Thanks for watching! More videos coming soon! (promise!)

This is a classic 5/6 port Bolt that has been clearly cared for by Louisville EMA. It has a brand-new antenna on it and sounds great! It is located at Seneca High School. This is one of the original bolts installed back in the 50s-60s and was originally mounted on the roof of Seneca High School. They took down and platform-mounted it, and then later ground-mounted it, but it's still screamin' l...

This Thunderbolt is located at the LG&E substation at the corner of Hurstbourne and Bardstown. It is one of two "major tone" 4/5 port Thunderbolts in my city. And here we are in 2021, nearly 57 years after it was installed, and it sounds freaking incredible! Thanks to all of you who are still here with me after all these years!

Caught this bad boy, which is located at Westport Elementary School, last month and I swear it must be the healthiest Thunderbolt left in Louisville! Also: Look out for increased, more immersive audio as well as 4K resolution next month!

FS Thunderbolt 1000 - Louisville, KY - Dec 2018

Here's my December 2018 recording of the Thunderbolt 1000 out off 22nd St. I didn't realize we had any 1000's left until I stumbled upon this one in 2014, and it's interesting because this siren was a transplant from E.L Minnis Academy, but that siren was a 1000T, so I'm not really sure how this one came about, but it's Louisville's last remaining 1000, so I'll take it!
FS Thunderbolt 1000T - Clermont County, OH - July 2019

This has to be one of the healthiest Thunderbolts I have ever recorded, and that's not shocking considering they've all been refurbed recently. This siren is across the street from West Clermont High School and is between two buildings. Unlike in my neck of the woods (Louisville), their Thunderbolts have the proper blower-backed wind down. I wish it was facing me as it wound down, but I was jus...

What siren is at 2:20?
I do not know if this is true but I have heard rumors this thunderbolt got replaced with a fs 2001-130 I believe sometime in august
Sounds like Frankfort KY And Valley Springs SD
Which substation is it at
I went to Seneca high school
Do you know why this is my favorite siren cause I love the noise
I Aslo hear a 3T22 or 2T22 and Thunderbolt 1000T i think 😊
NO!!! WAY OH MY GOD I LIKE 3T22!!!!!!!!!!!! OH SHIT
I saw on the Google maps on lily hill there is a 3T22
So Looooooooooooud!
3T22 Is yellow and 1000T is yellow
3T22 near on elementary and 1000T near on fire station shouting so loud.
No way I like 3t22 but shout on tree In elementary It's so loud it's warning Stormy 3T22 and 1000 T So loud
The Angry 3T22
And the 3T22 is on tree
It's 3T22 Siren
I took the video of the 2001-130 today that replaced the Thunderbolt 1003..... The 2001-130 has issues, let's just say that. Louisville has strange 2001-130s so far from what I've experienced, including the nasty one not far from a Thunderbolt 1000.
I might as well get a video of the 2001-130 that replaced the Thunderbolt 1003 tomorrow, since idk who has been there last time.
Ah yes. That lovely Thunderbolt ambience.
did you activate it?
update: this thunderbolt got head swapped

Is this siren still up and running? I might have to go see this one.
Bruh it has a 1 rpm
slightly less than 2*
@@TheMatsushitaMan thanks
It's a 4M blower that has some kind of weird rattle or something to it. I've always been told Olmsted is the loudest Thunderbolt left in Louisville - interesting to see that you thought this one was that loud!
Interesting! I recorded "old" Olmsted (platform mounted) and "new" Olmsted (as it stands today) and neither shook my bones like this one!
Sounds like a good old 4M to me.
Nice! Been waiting for an up close recording of this one since they replaced the head. Definitely sounds like it’s developed a pretty bad air leak tho
That Echo and kick up of the other Thunderbolt's 0:19 made my heart leap with happiness
I only remember this one because it was hella sick long ago
Nice shot! The Thunderbolt is a legend!
Did you notice that I’m also an elevator fan to?
Amazing video! Glad this siren still stands strong after all it’s history
Great video! This sounds awesome!
Sounds fantastic!
I like the sound of this tornado siren.

Federal signal 3t22
I grew up in Louisville, with a 3T22 literally in my back yard, at the former Lake Dreamland station 2 (now PRP). They used to set them off at noon every day but Sunday, and for fire calls.
That would be my dream house
All the yellow paint has worn off. So it is now only wearing the white primer.
SOUNDS LIKE A 3T22
3:02 3t22
The chopper motor failed earlier this year, but they fixed it
The rotator is now working but sounds like it’s moving hella fast compared to the last head
In theory it’s only 2 RPM faster - the old rotator was set to 2RPM and this one is set to 4RPM. I say in theory because they’re very rarely right on the dot - usually they’re a little slower
Good to see you back
If failure was success . . . .
I think at the beginning I think the 3T22 was mixed in with the 2001
