ACA P-50 siren test, West Allis, WI (alert & attack)

Monthly test of the Milwaukee County tornado siren system. This P-50 is located at the corner of 76th Street and Oklahoma Avenue in West Allis, WI. It sounded a minute of alert and 6 cycles of attack. I missed the first part of the windup, sorry about that. You can hear the air moving through if you listen closely. It chopped the 20 degree air really well and was very loud. Enjoy in HD!

[@hubertparks-bx9gj]

That was something seeing the snow get blown outt of the siren

[@SirensOfSEWI]

Nice video!! Iwent to south milwaukee to get a shot of the p50 but it failed to sound. It rotated, but thats it. The allertor sounded healthy though.

[@arey721]

How was it able to rotate but not sound off? Interesting. But thanks!

[@whammyp50]

Can't describe how good this video is. Probably 6/5 stars. Very healthy and what a beast that P-50 is. Very nice catch!

[@arey721]

Wow thanks so much! It was so good in person too you have no idea

[@jordanriley3261]

Yep as of September 2021 it's still here

[@neosho53059]

so when these go are they going to get t-135s??

[@arey721]

Just like every other P-50 in Milwaukee, yes. Or a repair will take place.

[@neosho53059]

I would just get new ones.... Then they don't have to waste the money on fixing up them right away

[@neosho53059]

The new t-135s look better I think... That's just me

[@neosho53059]

And sound good!! :)

[@neosho53059]

I like cyclones more... But p-50s have battery back up??

[@jrespinoza8025]
