Trocks797 took one of my recorders to Olmsted Academy North (formerly Southern Middle School), to record this Thunderbolt 1000T. Unfortunately, I had left my other external mic at my apartment to get some siren ambiance, so all I had was the built-in mics on my recorder. In order to avoid maxing out the mics, I decided to leave the recorder in Tyler's car, which turned out not to be that good of a place to put it. I didn't get any of the ambiance at the end that Tyler got in his video, and you can't hear the big A1 blower very well, but you can get an idea how loud the siren is inside the car, especially when Tyler briefly opens the car door at the beginning. Next time, I'll know to bring the other external mic, so I won't have the problems I had with this recording. Even though there's no ambiance at the end, you can still hear the Iroquois High School Thunderbolt 1000T even over all the racket this Thunderbolt was making. This Thunderbolt and the one at Iroquois are the same two Thunderbolts that can be heard along with the Papa John's Cardinal Stadium Modulator in numerous videos from the Churchill Downs area from the June 22, 2011 tornado. Thanks to Tyler for providing the pics for this video, like he did for the Wilder Tbolt video. This Thunderbolt and the Wilder Thunderbolt are the only two that we know of in our system so far that have A1 blowers.
