Can you r4ecord or vide that Cyclone some day??? I can try. as I said, they only test once a year. I don't have enough advanced warning to be there when a fire call comes in, and they don't do the good old-fashioned noon test. why does everyone want a Cyclone video? they're not rotational, there's ...

same here, you can get on youtube and find about 150 videos of 2001s. that's why when I wanted to record TMI's system, I immediately said no. There's also just as many Thunderbolt videos. do something unique. soon, I hope to have a Penetrator and a Cyclone video up. quite a few wanted a cyclone vide...

that's absolutely correct. in the instruction pamphlet we're given every year, and in the phone book, we're told that the siren system is not only used for nuclear disasters, they're also used for (quote) "other incidents such as tornadoes, floods, or hazardous materials spills". it's dumb...

New Cumberland is where I live!

THAT'S THE CYCLONE IN MY TOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I live a block away from that!
I hear that Cyclone go off every single day for fire calls.

don't bust on the Cyclone, for an omnidirectional, they're pretty mean.

believe me, I REALLY wanted to. I took the day off today because they've tested them on june 29th for the past few years and I wanted to get a video of a Penetrator this year before everything's replaced with 2001s. however, I tried and tried and tried to find out ahead of time when the testing woul...

here in Central PA, we have a mixed list. the original system was installed in 1982, consisting of Cyclone C-125s. Penetrator 10s were installed to fill in the loose areas. from what I've seen, we have about a 50/50 ratio of Cyclones and P10s. recently, a bunch of Federal 2001 SRN-Bs have been poppi...

my town has one Cyclone. mainly for TMI notification, but it's also used for fire/EMS calls. activated by DTMF tones. gonna stop using abbreviations now. the town next to me has a diaphone. what's the range on sirens? I know ASC claims a 10-mile radius on their cyclones, but my area also has P-10s a...

The Thunderbolts in Central PA used for Peach Bottom nuclear power plant are gray. my first time seeing a gray thunderbolt.

here's a recording of last year's annual TMI siren test. http://media.putfile.com/Three-Mile-Island-Siren-Test---June-2006 these are the sirens you hear... at 00:09 it starts off with an ASC Cyclone. I think this is the one in my town about a mile or so away, since that's the only Cyclone within a f...

I'm curious to know if anyone else here besides me lives in Three Mile Island's emergency planning zone, and if they know when they're doing the siren test this year. the last two years, they've done it on June 29th. I don't know if they will be again this year or how to find out. We have a system o...
