For those of you who have seen the show American Restoration on the History Channel they did an episode where they restored a thunderbolt for the history museum near Las Vegas. I just figured I would share it since it was a pretty good episode! Part 1 http://youtu.be/6JLbEqI8Xds Part 2 http://youtu....

Interesting video I found with a thunderbolt that malfunctioned with the DTMF tones.

Yeah it is an odd installation and alot of the sirens in town were installed like this. Of all the old sirens there is still the old T-Beam on top of city hall.

Troy posted of a test of the sirens in attack, my whole life I have never heard the city sound the old ones in attack.

Hmm, could be im not quite sure but we have those sirens here in West Des Moines along with a few Whelens near by and I hate them. I heard them almost everynight for about a month always between midnight and three AM in June cause of the stupid storms.

I miss these sirens, MC is my hometown and I know Troy which did this recording. It was just audio that he recorded of the March 30, 2005 tornado warning.

I think the siren company has competition, just kind of a funny side of it!
