Garland Texas used to have a WHOLE SYSTEM OF THESE and it's a big town. They've been replaced by Whelens.

Vintage Fan Collector I do they have ACA allertoic in the area as well and a 2001

You would’ve heard Darien’s second ACA Hurricane MKII-130 too, but since that was removed in 2010 your now hearing a 2001-130, which soon will be replaced by a T-128.

as of today, almost 10 years later, it has been replaced with a T-128.

@Stretch54449 That's because the blower on a Hurricane windmills the chopper, unlike a Thunderbolt. If you see Matt's videos of his Hurricane, which came from this same town, you'll see that it winds up quite a bit slower without the blower, and it even runs a little bit slower.

There used to be one that was yellow but on the year of 2007 they took it down. :( But at the beginning you heard an STH-10 nearby from the siren in this video.

Black seems to be on par with red when sirens are used as firewhistles. The Sparks Withington in my avatar pic was used by the community's volunteer fire dept. There was a twin to this one that was red, and sat atop the old Lincoln Elementary School. Never heard of anyone using an ACA Hurricane as a firewhistle, but stranger things have happened.

The wind up is way to fast. So attack signal on those sirens sounds bad.

nascarsimracing1 Thank you, the part that threw me off was that the 12 port side sounded lower than say, a 3T22, so I guessed it was at a lower RPM.

Cool close up siren test, those things always scare me since around here they are normally used for a tornado warning. I was being silly, I understood that was the manufacturer's model. ...I realize no hurricanes out here. If there were hurricanes in IL, they'd find a way to tax us for them.

@JMAN123436 It's the only hurricane left. There was another one that was taken down in 2007. The other sirens on the Tristate Fire Department stations are: STH-10 and an STL-10.

BTW I was in Koutz Indiana and on the orange water tower, I saw some sort of sterling siren. Do you know of this siren? Or can you or a friend check it out? I know it's a sterling but Idk what type. it might be an M10 that has no horns or sound directors over the chopper ports. but idk. If the siren community could take a look at that siren that would be great. It is prob inactive since I heard teh siren test and only heard a t128. The unknown sterling siren also has a 2001 next to it, and the funny thing is it has ASC control boxes.

how the eff do they make speakers so damn loud??

Unlike the Thunderbolt with its slow wind-up, the Hurricane would scare the poo out of me with its quick wind-up! :-)

awesome

Hey, that was on my birthday!

They were a rare siren to begin with, as they function the same way an FS Thunderbolt does, with a moter driven roots blower sending air through an uptake pipe...Depending upon the model, they are said to be louder than the T'bolt...

@@v10-ACR-E - I haven't seen very many of the ACA versions outside of videos and technical manuals... The FS Thunderbolt however, is a different matter, having lived in towns and counties where they were in service everywhere - At least back in the day _before_ many were replaced by the sterile sounding, modern solid-state electronic units that are easier to maintain and replace parts for... Also, one can now _SPEAK_ through the newer ones, as they double as emergency PA systems!

It seems you got scared when it started up. Did it get you by surprise?

I hear you on the vibration. i recorded a Thunderbolt 1000T last april that about blew out my ears and shook the ground and my chest.

they would wind up fast for a very good reason because if a tornado did come to where ever this tornado siren is placed the town wont know what it was for

@dualactionsurgilator I've been around both a Hurricane going off and a Thunderbolt, and let me tell you, the Hurricane was MUCH louder and shook my chest way more than the Thunderbolt did. Hell, when it was facing me it made my vision blur. The Sentry 40v2t also did that, but that one's omnidirectional so it was much more painful!

I miss getting shot a bunch by enemies, taking cover, and then popping a bullet out of my arm using a stick. That was fucking awesome.
