I was in Chicago for the first time for work and walking down Michigan Ave when the sky went from blue to yellow green in a matter of minutes. And then those sirens!!!! As an east coaster, that was my first ever tornado experience and it was wild! I had to duck into a hotel with huge floor to ceiling windows in the lobby and we were terrified when the sideways rain started coming through
Dominique Pilon I know I have received many apologies from the owner of the city and I will not have any kind Regards for the owner of the city that he has received from everyone in Chicago that s hack might be the same people that did it in dallis for a great app that tells you if a warning is in the city owner recived 8467 calls and 2007 messages
The reason you didn't see the tornado is because a warning means that one will most defiantly happen however they don't always happen in a Warning situation! They cannot tell if a tornado is on the ground from a radar but they can see a heavy amount of rotation which is enough to issue a warning! But just because they do not always happen during a warning doesn't make it any less dangerous because a watch means their a possibility and warning means a tornado touchdown could be eminent so always take shelter if a tornado warning is issued
Zach Kettell one time I had a tornado warning the tornado wasn’t in the ground but it was some where but then they canceled it and this happened in Wisconsin
@@indigodragon0613 Tornado warnings can be visually confirmed touchdowns by spotters or radar indicated. I've sat though a lot of tornado warnings and I like to listen to the NOAA voice read them off
Although this is one of the earliest, ua-cam.com/video/G8A7wJrh06c/v-deo.htmlsi=7MagqQ2xRNkwDeGv is actually earlier since it recorded more of the siren, possibly immediately after it started going off.
I lived in southwestern Minnesota for the first 11 years of my life, and the sound of those tornado sirens still stands as the scariest, most creepy sound in the world for me!
after years livin in the western suburbs I never seen a storm like that. I heard that the storm has the same amount of power as the Plainfield supercell which produced the strongest tornado in Illinois!
I was at Indiana Beach when this happened. The park closed about 15 minutes before the derecho slammed the area! We had to stop the van once we entered it due to near 100 MPH winds and funnels all around us! The lightning was so bad that we could see every funnel hanging down! There was at least 4 or 5!
Yeah you were looking for the thing. Talking with your dad on speaker then off of speaker. Did it ever touchdown? Plus why have you only uploaded 2 videos and nothing else?
This storm started up in extreme NW Illinois and just rolled SE right through the suburbs and into the city. There were over 8,000 lightning strikes associated with this monster...
The storm that hit us that day in August 08 was just out of control. I had never heard thunder like that day. All turned out ok tho. But those sirens do sound like "its the end" lol
If you watch Chicago Tornado - Sirens!!!, you can here the same sirens. Anyway, Within 2 minutes the well lit city became a blacked out one. Scary shit dude. I'd love to see a tornado, during the day not the night!
It still is aloft , if it developed you would know it. The siren sounding is supposed to be a particullarly dangerous situation siren. It is supposed to be sounded like that to make people aware an actual damage producing tornado is on the ground entering the warned area,usually for radar indicated or weak tornado a straight tone is used.but under special surcumstances a tornado emergency frequency can be deployed to alter the tone to a rapid up and down mode. very few siren systems have this added capability but considering what i am seeing on the videos it is malfunctioning as the conditions are not severe enough to warrent its use or someone is jumping the gun using it.i have only heard it in actual proper usage 2 times and the last was in the south suburbs in June2008.during an actual tornado on the ground in Richton Park.
@CTylerA434 I would prefer the farm actually!!! If they had actually been HIT by the tornado, I would much rather be in a basement / storm cellar than 400+ feet ABOVE ground!!!
Over here in the UK had a very bad storm the other month where there was lightning bolts I saw four two struck the woods and two struck a house and that was a severe thunderstorm warning and I thought it was a tornado warning but no tornado formed and it was a tornado warning but I didn't see it form but when I move to there it will be worser than the storm here because there will be another tornado warning even longer than the one in August 2008 but instead of sheet lightning there will be lightning bolts and one tornado but not in the city remember that storm it was crazy and tornadic
There is 2 sirens beacuse if there was only one. Only part of the city would hear it and the other one no. So that’s why there is 2 sirens so the other one that you hear from far distance is for the other part of the city
Yeah there where 2 siren but it was very creep and very terrifying to here this yeah its kinda kinda creepy 😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱 It sounds like a air raid siren but creeps me out
I live right near the loop! My buildings power went out for like 20 minutes. And I was having a dinner party that night!! Aghhh ha everyone thought the world was ending. Tornadoes here in the city are WAY more of a big deal than they are in the suburbssss.
yea im here in the subs. but it was only a nice day for a short time. in the morning it was very rainy and stuff and then in the afternoon it started to clear up then i saw the sky got real gray so i went in my room i was watching a movie and then the storm starts to hit. ill never forget it
You know whats funny I was picking up my grandmas friends grandkids in sheridan orgeon and I also heard a 2001 in fast wail I dont have a video but it sounded exactly like this but closer to me, so weird.
u cant see it cause i could be possibly rain wraped i know this storm produced tornado near there i was hit by a microburst by this storm im in kankakee
![(MY COUNTY) EAS TORNADO WARNING ON NOAA RADIOS AND WEA PHONE!! (7/15/2024) EAS #427 [Chicago, IL]](/img/n.gif)
I love that alternate wail! So creepy but it will get your attention for sure!

Scary ass sirens. Chicago has the scariest tornado warning
It really does 😖

The Air Raid sirens are less scary compared to this s**t
Ehhh not really
The tornado siren is more scary than the tornado 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Um ok
It’s actually not
Not knowing where a tornado is terrifying it
could Be right behind you

The tornado was in our hearts this whole time.

Creature Claw Isn't the rule that a tornado has to be reported in order to warrant sirens? That's how it is in Michigan.

This is the earliest known footage of Chicago's Modulators running Alternate Wail.
I never thought someone would comment on such an old video
Although this is one of the earliest, ua-cam.com/video/G8A7wJrh06c/v-deo.htmlsi=7MagqQ2xRNkwDeGv is actually earlier since it recorded more of the siren, possibly immediately after it started going off.
Oh, and to add on, look at the distance of the lightning in this video to the one I linked. Much farther away, so this is one of the earliest.
wow the sirens are just awesome/ im getting like chills right now. awesome video
I lived in southwestern Minnesota for the first 11 years of my life, and the sound of those tornado sirens still stands as the scariest, most creepy sound in the world for me!
Nice combo! You could here both the 2001s in Fast Wail AND the Modulator 6024s in Alternate Wail
Elizabeth_958. or EOWS 612
Elvis Ramos The Lamp collector nope, Chicago only has Mods, 2001s, and a DSA. No EOWS 612s
Elizabeth_958. nvm
after years livin in the western suburbs I never seen a storm like that. I heard that the storm has the same amount of power as the Plainfield supercell which produced the strongest tornado in Illinois!
WOW!! I never heard sirens like that before sounds really scary dude. :) awsome video
ferris2583
What time did the sirens go off
OH MY GOD THE COMBINATION OF ALTERNATE WAIL AND FAST WAIL MADE THE SIREN FAR SCARIER THAN A TORNADO
Best t storm on UA-cam. This storm was amazing.
the mix of those two sirens really creeps me out, looks and sounds like the end of the world
does anyone know what kinds of sirens make those sound though.
Shannon Reynolds FSC 2001 for the fast attack (fast wail) and FSC Modulator 6024/DSA
Federal Signal 2001, Modulator, EOWS 612 and Thunderbolt 1003
Federal Signal 2001-SRNs are heard doing fast wail, and the Federal Signal Modulators and DSAs are doing that creepy tone called alternate wail
@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL i wonder if they will ever use alternate wail/fast wail again
@@TravisDillon2000 yeah prb not
@Droideka133 Does the emergency alternate tone mean that something very serious is happening?
Depends on the city
Where is the Tornado sirens in Chicago???
I was at Indiana Beach when this happened. The park closed about 15 minutes before the derecho slammed the area! We had to stop the van once we entered it due to near 100 MPH winds and funnels all around us! The lightning was so bad that we could see every funnel hanging down! There was at least 4 or 5!
It's quite interesting to hear a siren sound in alternate wail for a tornado warning.
Yeah you were looking for the thing. Talking with your dad on speaker then off of speaker. Did it ever touchdown? Plus why have you only uploaded 2 videos and nothing else?

@pronintendogamer96 Chicago has Federal Signal 2001s and modulators. The modulators were the ones doing alternate wail.
If you watch Chicago Tornado - Sirens!!!, you can here the same sirens.
Anyway, Within 2 minutes the well lit city became a blacked out one.
Scary shit dude.
I'd love to see a tornado, during the day not the night!
Do you guys still get torandoes in Chicago you guys should move to ca we don’t we don’t get any bad weather
I know, right? We're not even in tornado alley but do we get a lot of them in central and downstate IL.
Meanwhile up here in Wisconsin the worst we get is Tornado warnings and very few touch downs. We don't even get warnings much.
was this the same storm where they evacuated wrigley field?
oh shit the that sky is greener than the hulks ass
xD
How come tornado sirens go off just before the rain? Is it how loud the sound is from inside a building?
You can hear the creepy siren in the back ground
Sanity Plays Its a fast wail 2001 soren, and a scary Alternate wail Modulator that sounds creepy
Sanity Plays well no shit.
What is that howlin siren called? It sounds awesome
@Dylan Johnson the “wail siren” is a FS2001DC
All I know is that if hear THAT sound, 400 feet above ground is the LAST place I would want to be.
I remember a tornado warning on the beginning of august on 2008 so maybe this was shot during that time i remember
which one sound better
TORNADO SIREN IS GOING OFF! AND I CANT SEE WHERE THE TORNADO IS! It might be amongs these rains! in the chicago!!
No, the city of Chicago EMA set the modulators to sound Alternate Wail during a tornado warning.
It still is aloft , if it developed you would know it. The siren sounding is supposed to be a particullarly dangerous situation siren.

Я придурок, потому-что Я отвечаю за 8-14лет!
Wow. Two different sirens at the same time!!! One Siren has a very Loud and mellow wail and the Other Siren sounds Errie and Chopped up notes.😮😖😱🏙🌪📢📣
There is 2 sirens beacuse if there was only one. Only part of the city would hear it and the other one no. So that’s why there is 2 sirens so the other one that you hear from far distance is for the other part of the city
Yeah there where 2 siren but it was very creep and very terrifying to here this yeah its kinda kinda creepy 😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱
It sounds like a air raid siren but creeps me out
@@Butera_butera_butera well technically there's about 30 per city, id say about 70-200 in Chicago.
Sirenhead
I want to see Chicago
@riddler716 What gave you that impression? Actually I live in a city.
What's with the hi-lo interspersed with the wail? When did Chicago start doing that?
Я придурок, потому-что Я отвечаю за 2-14лет!
And all this drama happened on the night of the Cubs-Astros game
I live right near the loop! My buildings power went out for like 20 minutes. And I was having a dinner party that night!! Aghhh ha everyone thought the world was ending. Tornadoes here in the city are WAY more of a big deal than they are in the suburbssss.
ahaha that was the day before my birthday.
i was freaking the hell out.
why do they run the sirens in attack mode? D:
The normal siren combined with the quote on quote “cthulu” siren is very interesting
Great I won’t sleep now
If you don't see it ( I also don't see it) it's High Precipitation tornado.
this day was awsome i was hit by and 80-100 mph wind microburst it was crazy
whats with the tornado that sounds like a broken ambulance in the background?
Yeah the sirens that were going off was the modulator 2008 and the SRN-2001
Chicago doesn't have Modulator 2008s. Just 7 Modulator 6024s and 2 Modulator 3012s, as well as some 2001-SRNs
We're having this Shit siren with this one 🔥
And I will hear actual tornado sirens when another storm hits in the day but I won't see a tornado it will hit houses near the city
yea im here in the subs. but it was only a nice day for a short time. in the morning it was very rainy and stuff and then in the afternoon it started to clear up then i saw the sky got real gray so i went in my room i was watching a movie and then the storm starts to hit. ill never forget it
i can hear a 2001 doing wail and a modulator or DSA doing alt wail
That siren is funky in the background
I was listening to the guy on the radio the whole time. Scary shit.
Those sirens are meant to scare the tornado away.
IS HE OK 🥺🥺
One of the sirens are dropping a beat
You can literally hear the original siren head sound in the background just listen closely
I was going to Phoenix that night on Southwest, we didnt make it out before the storm hit so we all the planes had to go back to the terminal
you can faintly hear a EOWS in emergency alternate tone a.k.a take shelter NOW.
Sirens heard: 2001DC and a faint modulator or dsa
I hear tornado sirens.... Oooo Oooo! I know! I'll go outside on the balcony of the HIGH RISE BUILDING!!!!! so smart...
im the first reply and like in 8 years. that’s literally probably a record for me
This siren: Plays
Random 6 yr old kids: OMG 😱😱😱😱 IS THAT SIREN HEAD?? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
awesome I hear a 2001 in fast wail
Don't forget the Mod in Alternate Wail
Elizabeth_958 2001 Fast wail more rare
You know whats funny I was picking up my grandmas friends grandkids in sheridan orgeon and I also heard a 2001 in fast wail I dont have a video but it sounded exactly like this but closer to me, so weird.

NOOOOOOOOOOOPE
Here comes Siren Head with a Tornado Warning-
Man that looked like a really crazy night i would seriously hate to be livin in chicago on that night holy crap but cool vid lol
when it is LIGHT outside, you are correct.
At NIGHT a tornado can be virtually impossible to see, even if it isn't rain wrapped.
Power in my area was out for 68 hrs, or pretty much 3 days..
Man I HATE the sirens here, they are so damn eerie.
the different tone sounds come from an EOWS 612
Feels like a found footage movie
I heard the soft trondao siren in Chicago
go to the center part of the skyscraper you're in
well yeah. i saw a news vid that said three tornadoes hit the downtown area.
it is AWESOME!
i can hear a siren from rolandofreitag's video
Siren head sounds like he pissed because the tornado is in his home town
That Alan like siren head
The oldest know footage on yt of that sound.
how is tornado not scared from the siren
by the time 2:10 and to the end it sounds like the wind or the tornado
i hated that day so much scared death dude but i t stopped that was the good thing
i heard two tipes of sirens
Federal signal modulator and DSA in alternate wail.
Federal signal 2001 fast wail.
@eddy75471 Because Plainfield IIIinois Get Stronget Tornado Called F5 Tornado

The tornado ain’t there because siren head is there.
