Sorta an odd test in Hamilton County today... the T-128 at Clough and 8 Mile didn't seem to go off and it also sounded like a couple sirens only went for ~20 seconds. I left my tripod at school so didn't go out and record, but with all the wind I doubt it would've turned out alright.

It hasn't happened yet, but I can't imagine that a siren head falling onto a car is a pretty sight. That's what worries me most about the way these were installed...

Are the Eclipse 8 and STH 10 the only sirens owned by CVG?

Was working in Butler County today- don't know what their normal test protocol is, but they did two 3 minute alerts today. Also, on the topic of Hamilton County, didn't they used to test on the first and third Wednesday many years ago? I feel like I remember that happening when I was a little kid. S...

This is pure speculation, but I assumed that somehow they could import the KMZ files that are released when a warning is issued and overlay that onto the Compulert system. So they would use the actual polygon drawn by the NWS. Like I said though, that's just speculation. Seems like the issue was fix...

That was sort of a fail in Anderson Twp... we were not near the warning at all- the T-128 at 8-Mile and Clough went off for about 10 seconds, the T-128 at the Beechmont Fire Dept. went off for the full 3 minutes. I guess that was the first tornado warning with the new system... looks like there are ...

Honestly am surprised that it would be located so close to the bleachers in the first place. I guess they wanted to make sure everyone knew if there was a tornado warning during a football game!

So the question is- is it omnidirectional or not?

I was watching a short film called Day of the Killer Tornadoes (which is about the 1974 tornado outbreak), but there's a short segment where they walk through the Sayler Park tornado. They have a sequence where they activate the sirens with a phone, but there's also an old map of the Hamilton County...

Saw today that, according to the Clermont EMA, their sirens sounded 3 different times due to a transmitter malfunction... Wonder what would cause that. They have a two-tone activation and an ASC FSK activation, right? I don't actually know how exactly their system works...
