It's insane how clearly you can hear the Bloomington Thunderbolt @ 0:22 and 2:57, even more so than the 2001s in Savage which are half the distance from you.
In the points that you can hear Bloomington’s sirens, Savage’s sirens were not going off. Scott County started their test after Hennepin County, and cancelled them before Hennepin County had finished. Hennepin made a mistake this particular month and hit the tornado warning button, so they ran a full alert instead of the regular test.
There are several reasons that mounting sirens on top of schools is a common practice. It’s a location that’s close to an adequate power source, outdoor activities are common, it’s easy to service, the mount will stay stable throughout the siren’s lifetime (wooden poles rot over time, while metal won’t), and it’s city owned property that they don’t have to rent from a private owner. This is the same reason you see so many sirens located on or next to water towers, police and fire departments, city halls, etc.
Nice. I'm surprised nobody got suspicious...that's why I never record stuff at schools until summer unless the county I'm in tests on Saturdays when nobody is there.
i like how the kids are in a pile of snow maybe getting hurt but having fun 4:15
Lol I feel bad for this kids because they have to get their ears blasted out with that loud FS 2001 Siren
Thanks, just used this as a reference for single tone mode on my electronic siren

Great video! Glad to see you’re recording some of those 2001s you were talking about.
So cool how you can hear the other sirens from 6 miles away
lol, kids probably running inside rn with their ears blown out. The poor things
I see the kids playing in the snow
Nice! And why is it mounted on the school?
