Actually I think that's a Model 3. The bottom and top louver are too close together to be a Model 5.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.

This Allertor in Philomont, VA is pretty high-mounted. The flagpole/cell tower in the background is 100 feet and I think the siren pole is about 60 or 70 feet. It is more than twice as tall as the building and replaced a slightly shorter pole.

Don't remember who took this photo, but this Thunderbolt in Hamilton County OH (I think) appears to be high mounted, it looks like (NOT MY PHOTO). Credit to whomever took it. If it actually isnt high mounted after all, the blower at the very least counts.

It's funny, I was actually talking about this siren on a totally unrelated note earlier today. It's an old 1000 in Fort Worth, TX, that's since been removed. Photo credit to Eric Green at civildefensemuseum.com

Definitely one of the tallest Thunderbolts I've seen and right in my neck of the woods.

Sorry the image isn't flipped sideways, I know that's what all the hip cats are doing these days.
My girlfriend does not understand this at all. Actually I really don't either.

I ventured down to New Freedom today in lower York County, Pa and photographed their Federal 2T22.... it is just a little high off the ground. The pole has a nice lean starting near the top, I don't recall ever seeing a wooden pole this tall before. The siren looks pretty small up there!

I would venture to say mine is pretty high.

The model 2's in Albion, IN are mounted fairly high up. (The one in the 3rd link was replaced by a T-128)
In my opinion, I think there way too many 2001's in Indiana!

By the way Allenorgan42099, you need a / in the closing tag for your Google Maps link.

Dang...Ive seen some high sirens (not like that) but this is really high for being a 2001. Let alone any siren pole mounted. Ive noticed the poles that hold sirens up are frequent thought the city.
