Brand New 2001-130 Outdoor Warning Siren - Lewisville, TX Monthly Test - BEAUTIFUL Full Attack
Out of everything that could have happened, I didn't expect this.
Lewisville, Texas recently added a couple Federal Signal 2001-130s to its Outdoor Warning Siren System. Today, I went out with @dallasrailfanner3870 to see one of the new 2001-130s installed recently.
The city normally uses Whelen Vortex R4s, but to my knowledge they also have a WPS-2906 and WPS-2810, which apparently do voice.
To my knowledge, this was this siren's first test after installation, at least on the monthly schedule.
However, what I didn't expect was the siren to go off in Attack of all things. Normally the city is supposed to do Alert, but this time the system was activated in Attack. I also heard a distant Whelen going in Wail, so either the city changed tones or it was changed specifically for this test.
I'm not sure why this siren was installed considering Lewisville is normally all-Whelen like Farmers Branch, but this one replaced a Vortex R4, like all other 2001s in the city.
Also something else to note was that a (I think) fire marshal was there, so this may have been the siren's first test. Pretty amazing to see, and the steady part of the tone went on for pretty long at some points. This siren is definitely no more than a few months old, as you can see the old siren on Google Maps.
Siren Info:
Location: Sports Field of Castle Hills (on Lady of the Lake Blvd)
Test Time: First Wednesday at 1:00 PM
I will try to record Lewisville in the future to confirm whether or not they switched to Attack & Wail.

Dallas, Texas Siren #5 FS 2001-130 Monthly Test - (Unusually) Short Attack 7/3/24

I guess Dallas just decides to send out the codes and then decides it's enough after at least one minute. Either that, or they're just pushing a button and releasing it like 90 seconds later. Still a beautiful test nonetheless. Siren Info: Location: Frankford Flats Apartments on Appleridge Dr. The apartment complex is right next to Dan F. Long Middle School.

Unexpected OKC Outdoor Warning Siren Test - 11/4/23 Whelen 2810 560hz Ambience

After leaving a train show, I was surprised to hear Oklahoma City's outdoor warning sirens going off. I shortly pulled out my phone to record in case it was a siren, and of course it was. It was only a test, but it surprised me because I don't know the test schedule. I knew OKC had sirens but I never knew their schedule, so this of course shocked me.

      I am aware about the signal. I for some reason did not pay attention and accidentally wrote "Alert" instead of Attack. I did not know they switched to 90 seconds though, so thank you for the information! I'll change the title and thumbnail as soon as possible to show the correct signal

    I don't hear Thunderbolt 1000/1000T from Dallas. It's been only active sense the year in 2009. In 2010 they had 2001-130's that's installed and it's begin to active those sirens in dallas.

      @@dfwstormsandsirens They actually let them set it off except for us. Back in August of 2021 they got to film a Dallas Thunderbolt 1000 set it off the first time. they only active with RCM Controllers which only the 1000 they set it off over there dallas fire stations, the controllers was inside the dallas fire station. But I ask a friend of mine if this maybe August they would probably do a Thunderbolt 1000 again this summer to set it off for us again. they could do a Station 11 Station 45 Station 48 Station 55 Station 31 any Stations they could set it off the older Thunderbolt 1000's again this summer.

  • @dfwstormsandsirens
    @dfwstormsandsirens Před měsícem

    If you turn your volume up all the way at the beginning, you will hear the ambiance of a Thunderbolt 1000/1000T from Dallas. I was in northern Carrollton when I filmed this, so that's just to prove how loud those things really are. Despite them being inactive, there are a few departments out there that still use them lol And yes, i know Farmers Branch has similar sounding sirens, but there is a pretty noticeable discrepancy between Dallas' thunderbolts and some of FB's whelens. In this video you can almost perfectly hear the ambiance of one of the tbolts. I dont know how it was possible to hear it, but yeah.

      I believe FB and Addison were customized by Goddard Enterprises in about 2015. Reason I say that? I was sitting in a bedroom back in the day during a tornado warning, doing nothing but minding my own business. Then I heard what I thought sounded like cars passing over a highway, but since there isn't a highway nearby within about a mile/half mile from my home, I realized it was the sound of the first siren. But at that time I didn't know what was going on, so I was like "meh, it's just a storm" when an EF4 was hitting the city about 20 miles away.

    If yall are wondering about the house and that door closing and opening by itself, there's an explanation to that. This house is my grandparents' house. They moved in to that house almost 40 years ago iirc. While the house is most certainly not haunted despite its age, it is very old, and is slowly collapsing. The room I filmed in at the start is the living room. The walls look like that because they're obviously wood. As for the door, that is the bathroom. It is usually always left open with a lamp on in there. Next to the toilet is a window which has a screen but is always left open for various reasons. Now this wind almost reached peak winds, with the peak winds being 59 mph, and our area only got one mph less. The wind was strong enough to move the door open and shut. While the environment looks ominous and haunted due to the lack of lighting throughout most of the house, I can promise you that this house is most definitely not haunted. I can tell because I have had some paranormal experiences. If you want to, I'll tell you about them. But let's not get off topic here. Anyways, when I shine the flashlight at the bathroom, you can see colored handprints and barely readable text. Well the handprints are just something I did when I was much younger. FYI, I didn't get ahold of some paint and put handprints all over the walls; I was allowed to. As for the text, it's just a "tradition" at this point.
