I decided to start 2023 off strong with this refurbished thunderbolt in Glenview. It was pretty loud and it rumbled my chest when the horn pointed in my direction. Unfortunately the chopper motor sounds like it will need some attention soon since the pitch drops noticeably throughout the test. I should also mention that I got completely DRENCHED due to the rain. At some points in the video you can hear raindrops hitting the camera, and at the end you can see how my lens got all wet (which was annoying to clean). I won't complain though, I'm satisfied with the video and overall this was a fun test!

Reminds me of ex-Redford City Hall's 1000T except this being older.

[@southeast_minnesota_sirens04]

Sounds like the highwaybolt, very nice video!

[@thespiritstingray9359]

Thank you! They do sound pretty similar though this one was much louder

[@CoolSirens1000T]

Great video and shot Ray! This sure gives a punch I also got soaked by stepping on the grass in john's park. It looks like the screen is starting to come off of this one probably because it rumbles a lot lol.

[@thespiritstingray9359]

Yes, it was absolutely soaking over here too. Thank you!

Nice one! I should be uploading my Orland Park P-10 and Tinley Thunderbolt video soon! Also, some penetrators weren’t replaced. I saw one test and heard one in the background after the one wound down.

[@thespiritstingray9359]

I was going to say, I thought Orland park was LOADED with P-10s, there's no way they'd be all gone so fast. I'll check out your videos once they're up

[@ilwx]
