Downtown Cincinnati Ohio Tornado Siren Ambience, August 1st, 2012 

Lol haha

@Sirens & aviation and more and me

Sorta like it

I didn’t hear T128’s, that “SRN” you hear is the park place bolt

The good ol’ overpowered 6M 1000 jailbar might be my favorite. Oh also, it’s on chopper 7 with the overpowering makes it like a tap setting 8 or 9.

Trains and sirens Part of Call Of The Sirens chopper 7, running backwards.

There was another one on hudihol brewery

@@deaderthandead1182 that is my favorite

The first Cincinnati Thunderbolt went up in 1953 on the current Patheon Pharmaceuticals building by Reading. The downtown ones would have gone up in 1954. All of them having the massive first gen A1 blower. The Thunderbolts and SD-10's replaced Chrysler sirens from the 1940's.

Well, it’s overpowered on chopper 7.

The chopper level was set lower . back in the late 90s it was set on chopper level 7. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ef3NLUk9Oto.html

Noah Covert It is

I could finish school by then

Yeah it's the same siren.

Do you by any chance remember what chopper level it was on? What pitch did it peak at?

Yeah its weird

There is one 1000 that doesn't rotate that wasn't in this video.

freckly_BPG Games, Alarms, And More Way before

From this video, 4. This was taken atop the Carew Tower. There are more that can be seen but were not filmed. I went to SCPA (School for Creative and Performing Arts) and remember vividly that siren going off each month. It sounded so awesome because the building is mostly concrete, it echoed through the hallways. :)

Not anymore the have Whelen Vortexs i live 10 miles from sowntowm i can hear them

Zach Janisch I know it's true they don't make Thunderbolts anymore.

Doesn't saint Paul park have a thunderbolt, I know Eden prairie if not savage has atleast one or two

Alphawolf All three cities you mentioned have no remaining Thunderbolts. And Minneapolis actually does have one left. It’s the U of M’s Federal Enterprises 1000T from 1954. I believe that Bloomington has one or two as well

Mikey yeah I knew it was one of thos3 cities surrounding the twin cities do you know if Bloomington tests in the winter?

I know this comment is 10 years old, but the 4/5 bolt is the city bldg. Thunderbolt.

Lytle 1000

It is 5/6

They're in the process.

Yes by now almost all are replaced.

4:36

MY thought is that they were set up to direct their sound towards the city buildings to create reverb that will cover the city. I may be wrong though.

I know these comments are old, but if there's anyone out there still curious, that is likely not the case. Both 1000T's in the downtown area at the time, (Government bldg and YMCA) at some point did rotate, I suspect YMCA'S rotator broke somewhere in the early 2010s unless the wind was pushing the horn around and the 4/5 government bldg thunderbolt's rotator broke somewhere after 2006. Hamilton County EMA stopped authorizing any repairs for any old sirens to make way for the new T-128s, thus the rotators were never fixed

@@madisoncountysirens4295 Government building Thunderbolt rotator worked during the tornado outbreak of 1999. The YMCA one definitely worked during that time frame.

Good for you I own a T-128

It's a Jailbar too. The Thunderbolts were installed in batches, some in the 1950's, some in the 1970's and 1980's. This is a 1954 model.

+Joshua Eckberg For some reason I don't think it has a blower

+Mr.Someone obviously it has a blower. The blower could be broken though. And I'm pretty sure 1000Ts don't have A1 blowers. Only 1000s have them. 1000Ts have A2, B, and possibly C series blowers

BOB!theGMObanana Oh yeah sorry i worded it wrong, of course it does I meant it may not be operative like the Rotator

+Joshua Eckberg And I have this feeling that if the blower was working you would be able to hear it- Even if its slightly heard

+BOB!theGMObanana ummm 1000T's do have A1's
