I too stumbled upon this find in Google Maps tonight. 4581 Buffalo Gap Rd Abilene, TX 79606 Purely speculating here, but there was a yellow P-50 and Thunderbolt at an Army Surplus place just east of Valera, TX until 2013-14. It was called Smith's Diesel Service. The guy died in 2013 and all of the s...

I can confirm, as of May 2019, the sirens are still standing, but have been disconnected. The P-50's rotator has been taken over by bees.

Chased a supercell that produced several short range weak tornadoes yesterday (April 6, 2019). Was heading into Cameron, TX shortly after they sounded their siren(s). I realize this video is a bit unstable due to the circumstances, but is still pretty neat to see a siren sounding with lightening all...

Disappointing the chose not to replace the outer projector horn, but I guess it's good they didn't replace it altogether.
IMO, they should've taken one of the P-50s in less-populated south Memphis and swapped them out.

Anyone in Memphis able to get a video?

Hey folks, After nine years, I have finally gotten the V.F.W. Park 40V2T in action. It failed to sound all previous attempts. This guy is LOUD! Last week, Katy replaced the 40V2T north of town, by the water tower on Katy-Hockley Rd. It had been out of service for several years. Katy must love their ...

I uploaded that video in 2006, but took the video on December 28, 2002, back when they still tested on Saturdays.
The video is of the Germantown Pkwy & Trinity Pkwy P-50.
The exact one that is being restored.

I was in Memphis last week and the P-50 has been removed from its pole. Hopefully it'll be going back up with a repaired horn soon.

Whoever set off the sirens pressed the wrong button. (A) This was definitely not a tornado warning and (B) sirens are typically only tested for one minute. To make things worse, there had been significant rain and a few small storms in the region that day. I was hoping the City of Brandon (where I w...

Nope, it has not. From what I last heard it doesn't look like it will ever be fixed/replaced. What day of the week will you be here? Most surrounding suburbs (including my own) test every Saturday at Noon, and the DeSoto County (adjacent to Memphis) Whelens test Thursday at Noon. Memphis City tests...

I live in Memphis and about 10 minutes from the nearest P-50...never heard it before. I've tried a few times but they didn't go off...I'm gonna try again sometime. Do you happen to know if the P-50 in the Cordova area has had its outer horn replaced yet? I'll be there in a month, but will miss test...
