  Do you remember the St. Louis Park Roundback by any chance? I found out today it was made in 1989.

  Any idea what minneapolis had at their airport before the 2001s?

  I remember a Federal 2T22 on top of the main terminal and an SD-10 over by Cedar Ave on the airport side, close to the fence near the runway. Both were yellow. Richfield had a blue Allertor on Cedar & 66th, next to the liquor store. I'm sure that could be heard at most parts of the airport, if outdoors.

  The wind was the best part of the storm. The storm looked scarier than it actually was. There wasn't as much lightning as I thought there would be. We haven't had many big lightning storms over the last couple years. Very little cloud-to-ground lightning storms.

  I went to Sonnesyn Elementary and it had one of these sirens on the roof. I never understood why it was put on a school roof. When I was a kid, I was terrified of it. Sometimes on the first Wednesday of the month we'd be outside for recess and you'd have to hide behind a wall it was so loud. Not to mention extremely disruptive to the classroom. Why would you want to expose the ears of children so close range to this thing? I don't get it

  Some people have them in their yard. I have a friend who just moved from a house that had one in the yard. When mowing the lawn, he literally mowed around the siren pole. It used to startle him and his wife.

  This failed during this months test a couple of weeks ago only the 2nd failure in 2 years because it blows a Circuit Breaker it is connected to and they have to replace the breaker each time it is blown not sure what causes it but it could be that it pulls too much power for the breaker to handle

  I live approximately 1 mile (as the crow flies) from that siren. I was wondering why I couldn't hear it on the first Wednesday (6/1/22). I thought maybe it was drowned out by other sounds and the loudness of closer sirens. I usually hear it clearly though, so it makes sense that it actually didn't go off.

  I know. We were so excited to record one of the White Bear Lake Allertors. We went to Manor Park first, only to be horrified by a 2001. Then Walser. We didn't have time to go anywhere else, so we took a whack at the 508. I like it's lower pitch at least.
