Hall County Siren #37 – Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003A

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012


I decided to have my grandma try and make a video of the Thunderbolt 1003 at Central Nebraska Regional Airport. And they did a hi lo! The wind down got cut short because her camera stopped recording. And before anyone asks, there are no “hiccups” in this test, there are just so many buildings around that it echos and can make the siren sound funny.

Hall County Siren #37 – Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003A (High Low Signal)

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011


Today was the day that Central Nebraska Regional Airport had their disaster drill. It is a practice for emergency response teams and is conducted every three years. The siren was activated at approx. 12:41PM. Today was also supposed to be a regular test for the county but Grand Island’s weren’t tested but the sirens in Wood River, Alda, Cairo, and Doniphan were tested.

Federal Model 2T-240 at Lincoln Park in Grand Island, NE. Attack mode. The Thunderbolt 1000T on 4th St. and Congdon Ave. can be heard very well in the video as it is only about a half mile away. It is also the only Thunderbolt left in Hall County that I don’t have a video of. Runs on 208V

Hall County Siren #30 – Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000AT

Thursday, November 17th, 2011


The Thunderbolt 1000AT at Howard Elementary school. The county appears to have started testing in attack on the 15th again. This one still has those hiccups during the wind downs but doesn’t seem to have gotten any worse. Look for a surprise for the July tests. Some people already know what I mean, so don’t ruin it.

Re-recording of the 2T22 by the south Walmart in HD since I have a limited number of sirens that I can record.

City Hall in Grand Island. IT LIVES!!! I guess it’s 4th time is the charm. My mom didn’t have a clock, so she didn’t know what time it was and by the time she was set up the siren activated so the windup was missed. But it works!

Hall County Siren #5 – Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003A (Failed to Activate)

Wednesday, September 28th, 2011


Decided to go to Wood River to record the 1003 since I haven’t got it for a regular test since they fixed it. And it failed to activate. You can clearly hear the Model 5 on the south side of town. Siren has been reported.

Hall County Siren #26 – Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1003A

Monday, September 19th, 2011


The Thunderbolt 1003 at 2926 W Stolley Park Rd., Grand Island, NE in alert. Before I get bombarded with comments, yes, I know that the pitch is wavering. Please don’t comment on the wavering. If you comment, just say “great video” or something similar. My grandpa did a wonderful job of recording this.

Title pretty much says it all. This is the 3T22A at the Doniphan Fire Dept. in Doniphan, NE. Oh oh oh! Nebraska statewide tornado drill is Wednesday the 16th. Expect some awesome videos. They are sirens I’ve wanted to record for a long time but could never find out when they are tested.
