The Dallas/Fort Worth area and surrounding communities probably has close to 1000 sirens.
And you came up with this number how?

I think that's just a slight exaggeration.

Ehhhh if you include all the surrounding communities its not really an exaggeration lol

The entire country of Singapore has quite a few hundred Hormann ECN-series sirens.
I heard there's also a Thunderbolt 2000 (T?) (Not even a typo) installed in there, but my assumption is that it's inactive due to the fact it's surrounded by electronic sirens.

Anyways, since Malaysia's tsunami and high water sirens are operated by Malaysian Meteorological Department, I can say Malaysia's takes the cake.
I think it was forum member "Federal500" who had seen the siren. However, he is inactive.

It was a Thunderbolt, with a gas-powered blower. 2000 series, exact model unknown. The head was removed in the 1990s when the Hormann ECNs were installed, unfortunately. No data is available, but I have seen the blower box. Located at SAF Yacht Club. White painted 4M blower, in mint condition.

It was gone, the 2nd time I ever went there. I wonder what happened to it.
Is the former siren mounted on the ground or on the roof? Anyways, one could still put a typical 1000 series head on the blower's standpipe.

But did the ECN ever gets put on the standpipe if the Thunderbolt it replaced is ground-mounted?

I would imagine they aren’t all controlled by one endpoint. Ie: not a single system.

Johnson County, Kansas: 190 active units

Kansas City, Missouri: 126 active units
https://data.kcmo.org/Emergency/Tornado ... /58qf-tp6b

Wyandotte County, Kansas also has a large county-wide system but I've never been able to pin down an exact number. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in excess of 100 sirens. Someone mentioned Oklahoma City, OK; I think their system is around 170 total units.

Hamilton County, Ohio has over 190 sirens. It’s the largest system in Ohio.

There was no replacement for it.

As with any non-pole-mount Thunderbolt, the WHOLE THING is gone, with zero evidence of its existence now.

Huh, thought Columbus/Franklin County was. Guess not. I’m gonna be moving down that way in a month or two just east of Dayton and south of Xenia.

I just checked, and Franklin County now has 196 sirens, according to their EMA’s website. So both systems are very comparable. Hamilton County used to have about 50 more sirens than Franklin County. However, they do not indicate if that includes Dublin’s sirens, and they activate theirs separately from the rest of Franklin County.
