Re: Macomb, Illinois Siren System

The Thunderbolt at WIU has been removed. The old 2T22 out near Whalen Manufacturing at Doran and Hemp roads has also been removed. As of right now, the Thunderbolt on Wigwam Hollow Rd still stands.

Re: Macomb, Illinois Siren System

I went by the Armory on Grant Street here in Macomb on Saturday and they have taken down the thunderbolt at that location last week. There is just an outdoor light at the top of that pole now. Listening to the tests today at 10am, no longer hear any thunderbolts. Sad. :( The one on Wigwam Hollow Rd ...

Re: Macomb, Illinois Siren System

Ian, I completely agree. Every one of them looks crooked to me! Sorry I didn't have enough time to get out and take closer pics. I just wanted to go around and get quick pics of all of the sirens around town last night. I'll try to get back out this weekend and maybe check those old Thunderbolts out...

Re: Macomb, Illinois Siren System

Well, all I had were two more, and it's not letting me upload the 2001-130 at Spring Lake campground. So, the only one left here is the old Thunderbolt on Wigwam Hollow Rd, next to Macomb cemetery. Since this one and the Thunderbolt at the Armory on Grant St weren't listed in your reply from the cit...

Re: Macomb, Illinois Siren System

All of the new sirens are Federal Signal 2001-130 series. According to the list that you received from the city that you posted earlier, ACA, each of those locations, except three, have a new 2001-130 siren. The exceptions are the location on Grant St. near Stacy Lane, which still has the 2T22 that ...

Re: Macomb, Illinois Siren System

Hi, I live in Macomb and was out looking at some of the sirens this evening. I can tell you that the Thunderbolts on Wigwam Hollow Rd at the cemetery, WIU Q-Lot, and the armory are all still standing. As far as their operational status, I am not sure. There is a recently erected (the last year or so...
