That Thunderbolt 1000T sounds eerie from a distance in Alert during a actual Warning also sounds like one of the Vortexes or OA-1s are timed to only activate for 3 Minutes while the rest of the system goes for 5 Minutes

Yes. I noticed the same thing during Severe Weather Awareness testing. Some of the Whelens shut down at 3 minutes during both tests. Regarding the Tbolt, I hope they don't take that one down any time soon. It still sounds pretty good. I went over there on the first Wednesday of this month (5/4/22) and it seemed to be working well.

@Maestro Dan Today (Monday) there may be some severe weather here. Yesterday we were in an enhanced risk area but got nothing. Today we're again in an enhanced risk area and there's a moderate risk area just to our west. I actually love severe weather. So this excites me. But I agree that people should stay sky aware.

Did the U of M sound the DSA's or Modulators?

I didn't hear anything other than the thunderbolt. I actually went over to the west bank on the first Wednesday (5/4/22) and recorded the tbolt from the courtyard. I didn't hear anything but the tbolt. It still sounds pretty good (to me at least). I hope they don't get rid of it any time soon.

Nice video! Do you know any info on the Bloomington, MN Inactive Thunderbolt 1003? Like when it was from?

@@southeast_minnesota_sirens04 I don't know why they haven't taken it down since they are no longer using it. I have watched it go off before - back in the early 2000s - and it sounded great. I am so tired of these new single-tone sirens that sound more like fire engine sirens than tornado sirens.

@@southeast_minnesota_sirens04 I don't know the answer to that. There is at least one video of that siren going off on KZread. On the video I've seen you can hear the blower, especially during attack, but I don't know the model.

There are four Whelen sirens near my home: A Vortex on 4th Ave S & E 25th St (Clinton Field Park), a Vortex on 1st Ave S & E 16th St, an OA2 on Portland Ave & E 10th St, and an OA2 on Chicago Ave & E 14th St. Then there's the Thunderbolt on top of the 21st Ave Ramp (21st Ave S & S 4th St, U of M West Bank).
