Grundy County Tornado Warning with Sirens 2/28/2017

- After watching the progress of a tornadic storm that did damage in Ottawa and Naplate, IL, the sirens went off in Morris, so what do I do? Go out and film the sirens of course! This was the first time I've heard the sirens in Morris, IL, go off for a tornado warning in years. I got the Fulton T-128 closest to my house at Brandt's Body Shop on Liberty St. for the first activation. Then later as I was getting gas, I got the Fulton T-128 on Route 47 across from Taco Bell and attempted to go back to Brandt's T-128, but it shut off before I got there, and the sirens never reactivated.
The tornado passed by Morris to the north and those dark clouds seen in the 2nd video was the tornadic storm. From what I've heard so far, it seemed to be an EF-1 tornado. It has caused at least 1 death so far in Ottawa. Pretty wild stuff for February.

"tornado sirens go off"
-wow this seems like a decent time to go drive around
Ned Flanders Hi diddly ho! I never claimed to be the smartest neighborino in Morris, but I sure diddly got some great footage for me to money from!

Can we stop at McDonald’s first for a Big Mac?
That siren will scare the tornado away
FelipeTheFirst //FTF if that only worked! 😂 intimidate the Tornado!
Me reí hah
FelipeTheFirst //FTF that's actually the sound of an actual tornado you idiot. The siren just means there's one near or its warning you about one. It's not funny at all. This tornado siren scares the shut out of me. Especially when it stops. It gets louder.
FelipeTheFirst //FTF 😂😆😅
Stephen Curry do you want us to call a WAAAAAHHHHMULANCE
0:15 - 0:20 that moment when they harmonize and sound beautiful
Fr
I was thinking that too
Those sirens. Jesus Christ. I’ve never heard anything like it. I understand camera mics pick up siren sounds differently than the human ear, but even in a video I’ve never heard a tornado siren sound more haunting.
Thank you for the comment! Never expected to see you here. I think there was one siren where the batteries were not running at full capacity (the one heard at 0:19) which made it sound haunting from a distance, as the siren is about a mile away from where I was standing at the beginning. I honestly never expected this video to blow up as much as it did.
Want to hear freaky sirens. Listen to Chicago''s tornado sirens.
@@angieparsons4584 Yes they sound like siren head
@@justinbricker9491 the siren rotated...
I live here
There is nothing creepier than hearing those sirens.....and the wind is dead calm!!!
Calm before the storm. I've been out in that and it is freaky how eerily calm it is
If it's really really windy and all of the sudden it stops that means a tornado is near or forming near you
scott montgomery UH HUH HUH........
I was in a cold front and rain came and the wind stopped all of a sudden..
tHen I sAw a fuNnEl foRminG tO mY rigHt aT thE tiMe oF rEcEss
scott montgomery and we went back in and the fuNnEl apparently died and became a normal storm
Agreed
For those wondering: The sirens sound like a horror movie because they're rotating so they constantly get louder and quieter from the perspective of the cameraman
There are also multiple sirens which overlap eachother, which adds to the horror movie vibe.
Alaprine and also the multiple sirens could be different brands so the sirens may sound different from each other
@@vitaltech5048 Yeah, that is true. I hear a T-128 and a 2001-SRN, I think.
Your pfp😂
@@Alaprine yeah.
People always talk about the alternate wail (Chicago sirens) being scary. Now THIS is scary. The echoeing and sound of multiple sirens sends chills straight down my spine.
I find them both scary lol
T-128s are awesome sounding and are probably the best rotational siren (other than the T-135 AC/DC) on the market
It sounds like a horror movie trailer
yes
Randomthings68 : wait, what's a tornado warning? I live in AZ so I have no clue what you people are talking about....
Randomthings68 : same
I don't like tornados they are so so scary
Radishals a tornado warning is warning you that there's a tornado
Why did I think the sirens were creepy music lmao
Ashley Dembeck i thought i was the only one who thought that xD
Ashley Dembeck not the only one
Ashley they weren't I heard them
Ashley it's not just you. Those sirens do sound like it's scary music playing.
Same
We need sirens that scare tornados away
This seems like a pretty genius warning system. I've never experienced a tornado in my life but if I moved to the US and someone mentioned what to do in a tornado, I would instantly know what that haunting siren meant
It helps people who may not hear their phone or are miles from broadband services. This saves rural and urban lives. Get under ground when you hear this sound, do not stop on highway, make sure if you cant get under ground go in an interior room and cover your self with a matress. As a last resort evacuate.
People at the McDonald's drive thru are like screw the tornado I want my Big Mac
nick baldwin Yeah:))
nick Baldwin LOL THAT IS NOT WHAT I WOULD DO XD
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
nick baldwin 😂
Lol I am liking ur comment and subbing and I don’t know why lol
Holy shit this is so creepy it looked like a scene straight out of a apocalypse movie when you stood outside and the street was completely empty with the siren going off in the background
McDonald's: I'm lovin it
Tornado: I'm twistin it

I cant like because 68
#Chill4Life is it because 68 is your favorite number?
Me: Driving on two wheels, running stop signs, constantly checking rear view to ensure 🌪 isn't creeping up behind me.
Tommy: Obey speed limits, traffic signs and use that turn signal for safety.
Kudos for keeping cool and safe!
These people are like screw this I want my frappe
Lol true that!
Anne Wamhoff
😂😂😂😂😂
they be like "F THIS TORNADO"
basically the big mac comment
I be like: Forget the stupid tornado, I want my McFlurry!
And there's still people in the McDonalds Drive-Thru -_-
Kevin Richerson They aren't going to let a little Ole pesky tornado stop them from getting their tasty junk food!
priorities
Kevin Richerson gota get that BIG Mac XDDDDDDD
Kevin Richerson right its so funny i live there too but de moved to chicago because of tornados
My first instinct would be to park and go inside. I could still have my Big Mac and run for the restroom if the thing gets too close.

Get me a Big Mac...

I’ll take one ☝️ with a large fries and a coke
Good to see a mix of railfanning and tornadoes, my two hobbies. I was born in Missouri, and have always been fascinated by the almost freight train like roar of tornadoes.
When I grow up when we have a tornado siren I won't get in the car and drive around the town like him

After I get my happy meal 🥘 I’ll be heading home 🏡
Idk what's scarier, the siren in this video or the ones in Chicago...
Jenifer Kornel I'll say the ones in Chicago definitey!!
Did you ever hear dodge city's siren
Chicago
UngodlyGaming no what they scary
Chicago, for sure
Morris is around 50 miles from Chicago.....I remember this night well, I was driving in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and the lightning was so continuous it just lit up the sky, almost didn't need headlights to see, that's how powerful it was. Also 65 degrees - in Chicago - in February !!!!!
OUTSTANDING VIDEO, Tommy!!!! OMG, it's so REFRESHING to learn of other people who have the same funky interests I have!!! I've always had an interest in tornado sirens! I'm originally from Massachusetts where tornado sirens were unnecessary, but I whenever I heard the siren test every Wednesday at 1PM while visiting my maternal relatives in Minneapolis, my fascination and curiosity piqued. I remember when I caught my first sight of a tornado siren several years ago. The Minnesota State Fair had been going on at this time when all the food and treats at the Fair were being sold "on a stick." I was walking with a friend through Augsburg Park in Richfield, MN and came across this aqua-colored contraption perched on a tall post. I learned later it was an Allertor tornado siren, but at that time I didn't know what it was. I asked my friend who was walking with me what the aqua contraption was, and before she could answer, a little kid who sitting with his friends on a close-by bench and heard my question promptly answered it: "That's poopoo on a stick!!" I've referred to tornado sirens as "poopoo on a stick" ever since!!
The sirens were so eerie😳😳I would be more scared of that.
Just hope it will never be for WARHEADS falling.
I love that sirens

Listen to the Chicago tornado sirens.....
Even creepier
0:10Who else loving this siren? It gives me chills, its scary tho
Not as chilling as the Moore tornado sirens
I do! They're actually more useful than I thought
@@kevincrawford8124 or Amarillo’s old system
@@kevincrawford8124 no
I watch that before when I was 5 years old im 7 years
Pennsylvania is known for having most of these ASC T-128, and they are EXTREMELY loud. The one down near Greensbury has a sound of about 204, which is just enough to kill you.
I love the harmonizing
For a minute I thought it was music but it's the siren😑
Gabi333
I’m sorry 😐 I couldn’t hear anything I was in the McDonald’s getting a Big Mac and fries 🍟
@@raymondbermudez5660 Lol
I like how sirens are blaring, yet people at mcdonalds are in the drive-thru.
I Hope They Heard Tornado Warnings.

One last no#4 to go please
And hold the mayo
People at the drive thru be like “screw the tornado I want my Big Mac”
Chrome7fan I played tornado outbreak cause u made it
A lot of the times the citizens get so used to hearing sirens that they don't give a fart anymore :)
Imagine hearing that at 3 AM😰😱
Hell nah boi I ain't sleeping those sound like the end time trumpets that's hella beautiful but really freaking scary welcome to the future my friend global warming more tornadoes ah what a nice day for a walk welcome to ALMOST FRUCKING 2025 already we got 10 months left bud getting ready for gta 6 be safe bro alah Akbar
the 128 siren ambiance sounds so creepy, i love it
Silent Hill looks promising
LMFAO
man team silent and kojima really worked hard on this one
Side note: Why does your sirens sound like a creepy horror movie??? Mines don't sound like that! Also, glad you're okay!
Lol, well, in the beginning it did sound like a horror film.
It was a little creepy, especially since the tornado passed by a few miles north of here.
TommyBNSF was it scary at mcdonald's
Rekieta Stovall I'm from Grundy county and the sirens scare the shit out of me
Exactly what I was thinking. It does sound like something that would be in a horror movie. I was expecting a zombie or an alien to pop out from somewhere.
What a tornado warning you might get blown away
Imagine living by that siren and it just blasts your ears out.
When I heard a tornado siren I thought it was McDonalds siren for they need more customers
Z4 Hockey LoL
Am died 🤣🤣🤣
Mc Donald wants your money so pay us for the food so we can shut up the siren.
I’d pay to be there during that. I love storms. I can imagine the; temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and sky color/ambience.
To many people this seems freighting, I find it a beautiful beast.
Guitarfollower22 you are the opposite of me
I am TEN and I am still scared of thunder and lightning.
Geez
good
JustZePerson 2134 I'm 11 and I love it when the electricity goes out, especially when there's loud thunder and a lot of lightning at the time. I like to sit under my covers with a flashlight reading a book. 😊
me too
Cool
That is the creepiest siren noise I ever heard...
0:02 ASC T-128 Siren sound
I miss our old tornado sirens. We have ones now that actually play a voice when they're testing them.
JJ riggs As if the regular tornado sirens are creepy enough they HAD to add a voice.
JJ riggs did they think that the tornados like ASMR?
that's interesting
Whyyyyyyyy
That would be great if they told a joke .
Tornado siren: *WEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOO* People in mcdonalds drive thru: *fucking tornado! Really?!? Gimme my god damn Big Mac already!*
It's Null 😂😂😂😂
OMG THIS IS NEEDS MORE LIKES STAT
People at McDonald's: ME WANT BURGER!
Them sirens are so calm and relaxing to my mind every one thinks I'm weird and crazy it's just a soothing sound v
Same with me
As the vid starts I'm not sure if those sirens are trying to warn me or entrance me. it's rather soothing tbh.
tornado warning?! let's go outside and drive around and film!
ArtsyFartsy 10 ikr
yup but like morris we get the warning but the tornado mostly never comes the tornado is like away from us like 1 or 2 miles far
In your opinion, You think its stupid. But hes probably getting footage to show the weather channel and you can get money for that, So sure, If hes still alive, than hes not stupid.
good idea and if the cameraman is steady with the camera and gets a perfect shot of the tornado while NOT staying in danger and doing it safely , the NWS and local weather service will pay top $$$ for the footage ( $500 for iffy little bounce or blurry footage / 4K pro chaser footage can range up to $ 3000+ )
ArtsyFartsy 101
Can we stop by McDonald’s first for dinner 🥘 ?
If this happened in Oklahoma, everyone would probably be like "Just another day in Oklahoma"
I like the sounds of that siren sounds harmonic at times
Love the sound of the sirens, but I also love storms…….music to my ears.
sounds like you need to watch out for Pyramid Head
StarkRandomVidoes Lol.
Haha
Omg lol true
Siren head?
@@jamesaviation2240 I'm sure siren head doesn't look like a t 128
I live in rockford and our tornado sirens went off and ours was since 2011
The Siren is called the ASC T-128
Started watching this video with the sun beating down on me, ended it with the sky gray and getting darker and the smell of rain heavy in the air, the cool breeze getting stronger, and then a Tornado went past me down the highway. Coincidence? Yes, but still that was the eeriestly timed tour bus I've ever seen
If I heard the sirens, I would not be the fool who gets in the car and drives around.
I WOULD
For the siren enthusiasts, it amazes me how much you like sirens. But how come you don't follow there warning and take cover during a real emergency?
TheJakeman789 EXACTLY 😂
true that man i agree
especially him being out side during the warning too and driving his car around like idiot in the middle of the warning also not being smart at all
they went off in Kendall too, scared the shit out of me.
Sammy Loo Wouldnt blame you! They were out of nowhere
You guys should meet up.
Sammy Loo lol lol
Sammy Loo
Did that come with a happy meal? Just wondering
why do people find the sound haunting? sounds very nice
It’s the sudden blows.
Gotta love the sound of the asc t128
When there is a tornado warning and you hear the siren go off, the last thing I'm thinking about is going outside.
So beautiful houses.. I wish I had one in Germany..
I remember that day.. I was outside of Washburn, IL but didn’t know a tornado was touching down on the edge of town and I was in the path of it. So terrifying.
A tornado in Illinois in February I feel like is very rare, as you’re pretty far north and it still being winter... that must’ve been a freak storm
Eghghh...the sirens creep me out. Among the scariest sounds I've ever heard. We when had a tornado warning (almost crapped my pants) we had only a fire whistle, I probably would have cried if I actually heard a siren like that. Very unsettling.
Watching this as someone who has been through three different kinds of disasters but never a tornado (we don't have them). Interesting to see how other people handle it.
I love the video! It's really awesome to see. I love how your filming it while driving around. It's so cool to see this! I've never seen a tornado in my life but we had severe thunderstorm watches and warnings, and 1 tornado warning. I love the way you filmed this video 😊
I feel quiet when I was the video. It helps me for sleeping haha 😂😂
I’m a Thomas fan to I find it really cool when I see people from the Thomas fandom looking at other stuff that I like
@@maxlivert1745 Thank you. Same here
@@Abril_Horie haha well that’s good at least
The chills from this us so words can't explain I love this video
I must say that you've got some fine looking old homes where you live.
Tornado warning sirens are designed to make people fear are listen closer to how sever the situation is
Those new sirens are nice .. yet, I still miss the old Thunderbolt 1003. Excellent video.
I live in the Midwest and I hear the sirens more than I want to. Back in 2016 our County made history (Howard county, Kokomo Indiana) we had over 4 confirmed tornado touchdowns in our county!! One being a F3. The sirens started to boare so I went outside to look at the weather and the sky had that ominous green color to it, which I knew that we were in trouble. The weather started getting nasty. I took shelter and then all of the sudden it got dead silent!!! That's when the Tornado hit less than 2 miles from where I live. After that I went outside and the clouds were really weird and nothing I have ever seen in all of the years I have lived in Indiana which is about 50 years!!
Man everytime I here that I want to just go invisible
That is pretty freaky, but fascinating at the same time. How do you like that? A tornado in February. I live in Wheaton, but I've been down to Morris and Marseilles plenty of times recently with my uncle. Last I was out there was maybe a month after this. My Uncle and I were discussing on the ride out there all the storms these towns got on this day. A couple properties near the corner of N 30th Road and E 2575th Road on the outskirts of Marseilles, absolutely destroyed. There was some kind of a tall antenna tower right at that corner that was twisted up and fell on the road that day, from the pictures I saw. The farm across from that had the house torn apart, semi trailers completely overturned, and other bad, bad damage. Worst damage I've ever seen in person, and I'm sure Ottawa got hit ten times worse.
3:25 That american signal t128 seems to be saying *GO SOMEWHERE ELSE STORM YOU'RE DRUNK!!!!!!!*
xD
Like this tornado warning and siren video. Reminds me of the low pitched siren sound used in the movie Twister with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. Don't know what model of siren was used for that siren audio, but I do know that it was a "WAIL TONE." If the sirens in this video were on wail instead of the "STEADY TONE," they would sound like the one in the TWISTER movie drive in scene. These sirens are TEMPEST 128 sirens by American Signal Corporation, one of my favorites of newly manufactured sirens.
Those sirens sounds beautiful
Agreed but they also sound creepy
Wow, that's a nice S-10 @ 3:40 ... I have a metallic red one one. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for great footage! here in the UK we thankfully don't get this experience.
You could if you get super unlucky and the tornado or tropical cyclone drifts your way
This is, by far, the best video of tornado sirens and tornadic storm I have seen! If you don't mind me asking, what type of device did you use to record this video as the quality is amazing!
When it’s completely still like that, you know something bad is going to happen somewhere.
It’s so creepy hearing the creepy sirens in the distance knowing that there’s a tornado in the county
Storm: I fear no siren but that thing...
*ASC goes off*
Storm: It scares me
giant dark clouds are so ominous and i love it
I thought that’s where I lived but it’s a different Grundy county but we had a tornado around the same time.
is this a tornado warning or outlast gameplay
JacobTheSomething its a tornado warning u can see the sirens move around lol
JacobTheSomething tornado warning

My so be love tornados he has a friend named jacob in Morningside elementary in twin falls idaho we have a f1 tornado in May 1st.

Very exciting !!!!!
Scary. Get to the basement!!!!!
I just love how they sounded that much and as soon as you arrived it stopped
Edit: glad they went off again!
Also question how is it that these sirens don’t get knocked down by the tornadoes?
Isn't it weird that a tornado came at late February even though it still isn't spring or summer.
Teddiursa Channel nah mother nature is bipolar nothing new
In 1996, I read that there had been tornadoes recorded in the U.S. every day of the calendar year except for January 16. That has changed; there have now been tornadoes every day of the calendar year.
Teddiursa Channel / in morris right there where the video is taking place it isn't weird I was at school and we had a tornado warning in January so its normal for the ones that love there like me
In the South, the height of tornado season is January-March.
It can happen anytime
omg good thing Pennsylvania don't get tornadoes that often
Amy Toothman I at least want to experience one!! But I dont want my town destroyed😂
Amy Toothman Hi 2 days ago I heard you guys had a tornado are you ok?
Amy Toothman oh really 4 days ago in Stroudsburg!
Harry Potter Fan I live outside of Lancaster, Pa and we had a Warning. I was confused and thought iit was a watch and did nothing. 😑 Anyways, we thought, oh well nothing happened. Then someone posted a picture of a tornado touchdown about 5 miles from my house 🤤 I think we have them more often than the media tells us because there was not a word about it.
Angie TheGymnast
Ikr like we had a tornado like a month ago (I live in PA). But it actually didn’t touch down anywhere but there was a funnel cloud
No leaves on the trees, winter season. Headlights on, that time of year means probably the 5pm siren test. Both days, same time of day. Pretty easy to figure out.
Man, this ambiance sounded exactly like the one in my city. Ardmore, Carter County, Oklahoma. 5/1/2019 there was a tornado warning.
3:09 That scene is just breath taking. The color of the sky, the sound of the sirens. Even the cars and people Going about their day just makes it more eerie and exciting. What an experience.
USA flag: Help Me. I feel like I’m going to die.
@@tsumadelphia251 I GABI (I FOUND YOU)
2:23 ASC T128
According to the NOAA damage assessment it was actually a high end EF-3 tornado with max winds of 155MPH!
The timbre of those three, four sirens, reminded me of the organ chords in the *_Silenced Cathedral._* That is a very dated and obscure reference, but for those who know the names *_Raziel and Kain,_* should also know the reference.
...
That one siren as you were standing there getting petrol was a solid C#.
Those Tornadoes Sirens Are So Scary!
I kept looking at McDonald's instead of the clouds lol felt hungry 😋
We went to McDonald’s to but not there
That's so cool that they spin around like that. They got rid of our military sirens in SoCal long ago. They used to do siren tests once a month.
That siren is creepier than a distant RS3L at 3AM… now imagine hearing the siren at 3 AM…
Was it grundy Illinois? Cause I remember this tornado!
Jillian Niedziela Not quite sure it says Grundy county so maybe yes maybe no
Actually yeah it was Grundy, IL.
You just know us Americans are fat when there is a TORNADO WARNING and people are still in the McDonald's drive thru, smh...
Conservatives are ruthless, ain't never gonna let a tornado stop them from a "good ol fashioned" (note the quotes) hamburger.
Kvng _ Oreo they are just like screw you tornado I want my French Fries
You’re right - everybody PANIC
ClearSky Productions lmao your comment is underrated
Tornado warnings happen all the time without a twister actually touching down. Thus, people don't take the sirens as serious as they should.
It's a hell of an experience when a storm hits in the midwest.
Sounds like a sad song in the beginning
