Welcome to the channel of Kent County Michigan's tornado sirens. This channel features mainly 2001's considering it's what Kent County mostly has but will have a few surprises here and there along the way. Enjoy

Thank U 4 watching. Always like these 2001's. Planning on filming one more 2001 in Walker next month before school starts. I'll probably film something different in April 2025 for spring break.

@@sirenhunter321 For sure! Im gonna try to film a SD-10 soon I'll have to look at it tho bc I use a really old siren map. I've thought about going into ottawa county and recording one of their allertors, but im trying to stay in kent because I like to have the activation tones in my videos (even though i've been to lazy to post anything lol.) What really sad is I missed the last test bc it was my birthday and i totally forgot (I did get some ambience), but it would be totally awesome to meet up sometime to record something! Also do you have any weather radios? I currently have two a wr-300 and a wr-120 and im trying to thrift some (just wondering bc alot of siren enthusiasts are into weather radios) Have a good Day/Night !

FYI the dishes are not for the siren. I've seen the controls and the antenna is a bog standard white whip mounted directly next to the FCTB controller. You can see it in some of the other videos of this siren, it's the same thing that's on all of the 2001s in Kent county. Great video otherwise!

Yes, thank you! I'm glad you like them. This siren has an interestingly deeper pitch to it for an SRN. I will be able to make the next test on April 5, 2024 during my spring break. Thank you for watching!

Yeah, I went by those sirens to see if they turned ( or activated) when the tornado happened. That's when I saw those trees. They were taken out right before this test happened. I have a recording of that siren if you want to check it out.

Awesome. I was out in walker as well verifying an SRN that was a possible failure during the tornado a week before the test. It worked just fine and didn't have any issues. Having this video evidence will help me with a project I have going on.
