Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

I saw that Warren County is growl testing their sirens throughout the day today. Were there certain issues last night?

Tornado Warning Sirens in Hamilton County, Ohio 5/7/24

I know I'm not very active in the siren community anymore, but I thought I would take this opportunity to record my first time hearing the sirens at my new house! I just moved out of my parents' house and now live independently, but still in the same neighborhood. So a tornado warning was issued ton...

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

Well, tornado warning that includes part of Hamilton County tonight… and it was very interesting, several minutes after the warning was issued before any sirens were activated, and it sounds like they were all being activated in phases! I heard several distant sirens before any near me went off, and...

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

A couple years back, I shared a blurry 1950s photo of the Whitaker with the Thunderbolt visible back when it used to have a long stand pipe. Well somebody shared with me this yearbook cover with different photos of the building under construction when major renovations were done in the late 90s, and...

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

While the Thunderbolt on this building was removed over 10 years ago, I just thought I would let you all know that Whitaker Elementary School is scheduled to begin demolition in May. Right now, the expectation is that a new residential development will likely be built on the property.

Re: Thunderbolt 1000 and 1000T

Officially, there is not a way to tell the difference without hearing them. If my memory serves me correctly, they have tags that will indicate "1000" or "1000T" depending on what they were originally built as, but a lot of Thunderbolts have had their choppers replaced at some po...

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

For whatever reason, all of the Loveland and Symmes Township 2001s were given the ASC control boxes around 2013. I never heard the exact reason.

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

Yesterday, I happened to notice that the T-128 on Nixon Street behind the EPA building was no longer there. It still appears in the latest Google street view images from November 2022, but if I get on the Hamilton County Auditor's website and look at aerial images of property around there, the lates...

Re: Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

Well, what do people have to say about the "TunnelBolt" in Hamilton being reverse wired once again? Evidently, it was still running correctly back in May at least.
