Ok so this might not be related to sirens much but I came a 1972 video called The Carpenter's Gold video a 70s band at their studio in Los Angeles and you won't believe what I saw in the beginning of the video. At precisely 0:06 I saw one of LA's sd 10 sirens that belonged to the system. Not sure what intersection but wondering if you would've known where it was at
Ok I found it it was located at the A&M records studio in the intersection of Colorado Ave and 14th street in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California but i don't seem to see it but I'm certain that's the correct location.
The address of the at opening shot is actually 1416 North La Brea Avenue, on the corner of La Brea and Sunset. It's where A&M Records used to be, which was Charlie Chaplin Studios before that. Looking at the siren map from Los Angeles Air Raid Siren.com, it is #26, which is unfortunately no longer with us. I am trying to compile clips from movies and such that have LA sirens in them, so thank you for telling me about this!
The lettering of the siren name is off a bit, it’s not wrong being called a T1000 but normally it’s considered a 1000T, the second variant of the Thunderbolt 1000. The T signifies it being Dual Tone. Other variants using the “T” are the Federal Signal 5T or the 500DHTT(DualHornTwoTone).
Very nice video. Only thing to keep in mind is usually the T comes after the number so for example Thunderbolt 1000T the T stands for two tone which means instead of a single port configuration it has say 4 on the top 5 on the bottom so on and so fourth same with a lot of sirens like the Model 2T 5T 7T. The T means the same these models as well.
When I first saw it, it was while i was working. It was like 11pm, we stopped our caravan of vehicles to make some changes, and when I looked up there it was. I think I literally said, "OMG, a Thunderbolt!" to which everyone around me gave me confused looks. At the time I didn't have a car for myself, so it wasn't until a few days later that I was able to drive back to it in a 2 hour time window I had before I needed to be at work. All that to say, I really had no planning or time to see it in action. It just means I need to take a road trip!
@@DayTrippingAdventurer You know I'm just funnin' with you! But you got to hear it, at least once! Every day, at noon, (I mean 365 days a year) on our little town, they sound off all five of our fire sirens. We avoid the downtown area (in the vicinity of the fire/police station) like the plague because of the loudness! And the noon siren, being a test of the system, is an abbreviated blast. We used to have a favored grocery (since closed) right next door to the cop shop, and if you were inside when a fire call went out, the siren would actually shake cans off the shelves! Every so often, elements of the population would try to do away with the sirens. But the general population would have none of it! Couple months back, PD dispatch (who also dispatches fire) fielded over 50 phone calls inquiring why the noon siren didn't go off! Fire chief informed dispatch that he turned it off because there were workers on the roof and he didn't want it going off next to them. Smart move, chief! Oh, I like our sirens. And they may be a relic of the past, but we tend to think they are nods to the past. And they still serve a purpose.
You might know about the h o r siro drone but have you ever heard of an h o r si-rex this siren is known for being a world war II air raid siren and they're also made by the same company who made hor siro drone
Used to be a Thunderbolt in Walnut Ridge, but it was taken down. Now there is a Sentry down the road from it by the tracks.
so the actual name for the thunderbolt models is T-XXXX?

@@DayTrippingAdventurer Your welcome

Thanks for that information, easy fix on the title.

Yeah, I always tend to put the T in front, might be from my love of the Terminator movies. :D
@@DayTrippingAdventurer Haha
Thunderbolt
WHAT!?! You weren't there during a routine test? Shame, shame! Seeing them is one thing, hearing them is something else completely!
💥👂💥
On his video in the desert he heard a private owned Tbolt 1000T in person and close to it so he experienced a close up sounding of one of those
