I was at home, alone, in NC. My phone didn’t alert me, the news didn’t alert me. It came down and started tearing my home apart. Our barn, our buildings, my grandparents home, our garage...everything totally destroyed. I knew I was going to die. A 2x4 fires through the wall like a spear and missed me. We had no basement, no shelter...and our neighbors home collapsed into the basement and would’ve killed everyone there. I still have severe ptsd all the time about storms. You do not want to go through it. It seems cool from the outside but ask anyone that’s been through one, I mean truly been inside one....it messes your head up and does something to you. I promise you...your life changes and you are no longer fascinated by storms like before. It’s hard to explain this to someone that has never been in the position. It changes life...I don’t wish that on anyone.
"Turn you volume down if you have headphones" Me: *has headphones on* Also me: *turns all the way up* ima bad bo- Siren: *Starts going off* Me: Ima deaf boy
@@hellosammie8972 the p-50 is the loudest electro mechanical siren but the Chrysler is gas powered and is around 20 decibles louder you can find more info on Wikipedia
The problem with the new sirens that are now being used is unlike this one here, they don't go thru that wind up and wind down process. The new ones literally go from dead silence to full blast immediately. Which is what I found out while standing almost directly under one and not knowing it was about to go off. Let's just say I'm surprised I didn't need to go home for a change of underwear right after that.
dude i checked my watch and saw it was Twelve in the afternoon and I freaked out thinking a siren was going to go off in my city but then I realized I live in Canada we don't get this shit we get really bad snow storms instead LOL
To compare, the Chrysler Victory Siren, which is the loudest siren ever made, made in the early 50's and powered by a Chrysler FirePower Hemi engine, could be heard 30 miles away from it during nice weather days. It was so loud, that the vibrations caused by the sound would have set a tree next to the siren on fire ! None of these sirens are still used as tornado sirens, some were scrapped, some are rusting for years, some are exposed in museums and some were restored by collectors and are in working condition.
Shoot I'm wearing ear buds right now He said if I was using headphones i wouldn't be okay... but I'm wearing ear buds soo Siren:goes off Me: REEE MY EARS
@@Damonlive783OfficialTM i mean 2001s are not that loud... i mean yeah they are electro mechanical sirwns they can be pretty loud but i dont think it can deafen you when you are a couple of meters away from it and it is on a pole.
The thing is that when you really really want it to be a really bad weather like a tornado and a hurricane but when you’re in the storm right now it’s even scarier so man you better not wish there’s a tornado
wow that's loud when i was in elementary there was one like that next to the school and it would go off every month...at the time we were at recess -_-
Wow theirs a siren near my school and we walked to the park for a nature hike and we were RIGHT next to the siren and it went off and you know what happens
