Cold War-era air raid sirens in LA

Still part of the LA skyline after all these decades of inactivity.

    Absolutely I remember them. Every Last Friday of the month. It would happen while we were at recess at St. Dominic's. Thanks for this . I just wish your report was a bit longer.

    These models are called 500T, Model 5T, SD-10A. They have 9/12 port choppers. The 500T is the one that looks like a horn. The Model 5T is the one that looks like a rocket. And The SD-10 Is The One That Looks Like A Big Box. Here's a 500T on the ground sounding for a air raid. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eq1n1sduYJSTj6w.html

    L.A had 500 SH-TT, Fedelcode Model 7 9/12 (the short one), Federal Signal SD-10, and a Federal Signal Model 7T (the tall one) 9/12. Some cities had Thunderbolts sirens like Hawthorne

    The sad thing is that they could easily use sirens for outdoor early warning alerts for detected earthquakes. Other countries do this.

    We use them as tornado sirens in Kansas and Missouri. The use of the sirens for tornado alerts was quite controversial and actually lllegal until the 1950s. The sense of fear i get from them is the fear of tornadoes, not the fear of attack! Very eerie sound!!!

    Earthquake early warnings are a reason they could reuse them. They already have EAS warnings for it.

    The soviet union never died. It just shrunk and went into recovery mode. Now they want their territory back. You might consider reconnecting those sirens... then again it's California so you're doomed anyway.
