Originally Recorded 12/10/2021
Finally, after dealing with a lot of technical problems with the editing software I use, I was finally able to get this up. This was recorded on the infamous December 10th outbreak that ravaged western Kentucky. At around 11:20 Central Time, a PDS (particularly dangerous situation) tornado warning was issued for extreme southern Hancock County and neighboring areas. A PDS tornado warning means that a confirmed, violent tornado is in progress. This prompted a siren activation throughout the entire county. We decided to initially try to intercept the storm, but due to the storm's violent history, an unreliable road network, and it being night we terminated the chase. Instead, we opted to film any siren action or whatever else came our way. A long form vlog about the event is in the works. Hopefully by early next year it'll be up, I'm still gathering some damage footage.
We were in neighboring Perry County by the time the tornado warning was issued. All we had to do is cross the bridge into Hawesville which has a nice mix of Vortexes and a lone 3V8. It still sounds healthy and luckily hasn't been replaced...yet. I was surprised how well it could be heard across the river in Indiana. Bridge decks around here are noisy which obscured the siren, but once we crossed the river into town, the 3V8 could be heard once again. Hawesville was not in the polygon, but it's crazy to think we were still in the same supercell responsible for several violent tornadoes that night.
Recording sirens during an actual warning is quite a rush. But if you do it, make sure to maintain situational awareness. Know your surroundings. Use an app like RadarScope and understand some of the local geography. No siren recording is worth your life, so always be careful and plan an escape route much like you would if you were chasing a tornado.
Enjoy, and as always comment, like, and subscribe for more. Thanks!

Prayers go out to anyone involved with KY storms 🙏
Sounded more like Fast Wail then Attack. Nice video as always.
Yeah it's kind of a weird in-between signal. This town had another 3V8 that got replaced. It's attack timing was much longer but it seemed to cause issues with the centrifugal switch.
Such a horrible night. Prayers for all hit hard by the severe tornado outbreak.
Holy crap. Nice video man. Glad you got out of there safe.
I can’t imagine driving around during a tornado emergency.
This wasn't quite a tornado emergency. It as just one tier below, though I think at least a couple tornado emergencies were issued.
It looks like some heavy rain keep up the good work man🙂
Nice video Brandon. I spent some time in Dawson Springs a couple weeks ago to help with clean up and my mind was just consumed with the amount of damage there was. Hope you’ve been doing well. Come up and see us again.
Thanks! Yeah, that damage was some of the worst I've seen, it's sad it happened just two weeks before Christmas as well. Luckily, I'm doing pretty good, I hope the same for you! I'll definitely be making a visit once again. It's definitely been awhile haha
I think they replaced it bc I only see a Whelen Vortex on Hawes Blvd. I'm not seeing any Sentries whatsoever.
That siren can LIGHT!?
Happy New Year!
Now you can see the sentry 3v8 at 2:21
Nice video! And I couldn’t see the siren that’s annoying but good sound!
At around 2:20 you can see a lightning strike show a silhouette
@@DSRX100 you mean: 2:21
@@DSRX100 I just got scared because you just replied to me thank you for replying to me and make more videos of sirens
Happy new year’s dsrx100
Do the sirens in this area do attack for all Tornado Warnings or just PDS Tornado Warnings and Tornado Emergencies?
The sirens in this county are a mix mash. Some do alert, some do attack, while their ATI's do whoop. This is true for every siren activation regardless if it's a test, a severe thunderstorm, or a tornado.
If I did this is would be Shaking like a washing machine your super brave to do this and dedicated
