FS 2001-SRNB Flood Siren Test, 1 Minute Attack - Columbia, SC 02/08/2022

Recorded on February 8th, 2022. This is a monthly flood siren test of the Saluda River (in Columbia, SC) flood warning siren system. This siren is tested at second Tuesday of every month at around 12:00 PM ET. This siren is also 3 minute tested once a year, on the second Tuesday of every January around noon. This siren started 13 minutes after 12:00 pm. I thought they weren't going to test, but they did. This is my first time recording up close of their 2001 flood warning sirens. Saluda River has a system of 3 or 4 2001-SRNBs. They also have FS DSAs that go off for raising of the river I think. This siren is located near 1019 Garden Valley Ln, Columbia, SC 29210. I got a few more siren videos coming up om my channel soon.

An early one, nice catch!

[@southcarolinasirens1000]

it’s also tested as a tropical storm/extreme heavy rain/severe thunderstorm warning. tested every 2ND Tuesday of every month and also on those weather warnings. but the DSAs are tested for the high water of the saluda river in attack signal.

Awesome video! That echo makes it sound straight out of an EAS scenario.

[@Nicsirens]

That's insane Echo

[@northdakotasirens1520]

Is this one of the older generation/version of SRNB?

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

Yes.

[@Jimjam475]

Square

[@djifirealarms]

awesome reverb

[@lisirenprod1003]

This one is pretty punchy. Great video!

I Enjoyed this

[@ThunderboltFan2000]

So basically these sirens would go off for a Flood/Flash Flood Warning, correct?

[@Supersonic_Sirens_TX]

Yes

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

Yes. I've seen a dashcam footage of one of their 2001s sounding in alert for a flood warning.

What was the video with the dash cam footage

@@TrainsAndSirens1 How’s the 1003 coming along, I can’t wait to see it in action

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

@@safetran50 Unfortunately that video was taken down years ago. It was "Random Dashcam Clips in SC".

[@SysKeyJS]

These are the standard sirens in my area

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

This is actually a SRN i believe.

[@bruh3120]

No. SRNs have a rectangular Thunderbolt rotator, while SRNBs have cube-shaped rotators

[@colehac12]

I have a map of this grid, along with the DSA’s that line the river. I’d love to contribute to the “SC Sirens map” if possible, or just to share!
Also dilemma is Dominion claims they have 10 SRNBs total for this system, and i’ve only found 8. Still searching for the remaining 2, which i may just set up in the suspected area for this years 3 min test

[@user-gl9we6hw2s]

I know this area

[@Supersonic_Sirens_TX]

Kinda low pitch for an SRNB

[@YourAverageMODude145]

No not really. It sounds different than others due to running on a lower voltage, while others get overclocked

[@Supersonic_Sirens_TX]

@@YourAverageMODude145 ah makes sense

[@TrainsAndSirens1]

This siren is running off batteries (batteries being charged by solar panel).

[@YourAverageMODude145]

@@TrainsAndSirens1 that also makes sense

[@k22_641]

I always thought the 2001srnb is single phase
