I'm not exactly an expert on Cincinatti sirens. but, does anyone know if the 5th and Main thunderbolt is still in place?

Yes it is.

Hey everyone! I missed the growl, but other than that today was a success. Also, Newports MOD's test in alternate wail!

I couldn't film anything today since I'm in New York. Amtrak3501 went to Hamilton again to film the Thunderbolt 1000T at St. Ann's Church. Maybe because of the test being cancelled for July, Butler County forgot that today was testing day! So he called, and they sounded their sirens at 12:17. Also, the blower is burned up.

My video is from the August 1st, 2012 test is now uploaded. I will edit the start and end times once YouTube allows me. I will try tomorrow to edit the times. The times in the description are accurate however.

That's interesting. Last time I heard them test (sometime last year), they did Westminster Chimes. Glad to hear they've changed that now, though it's not really a huge deal as the Thunderbolt on top of the Park Place at Lytle complex across the river pretty much drowns them out anyway.

Here is some information on the siren project. I have been told that 10% of the sirens are still not working or not hooked up. The project deadline was March 1st 2012. It will be 1 year as of August 5th 2012.

Hey guys! Today (Aug. 26, 2012) I will be going out on an Ohio siren hunt. I will start by going to Calhoun Hall at UC and get the universities T-Bolts. Does anyone have any sirens they would like me to visit?

Also, does anyone have a map of Clermont counties sirens, or some locations or something?

Also, does anyone have a map of Clermont counties sirens, or some locations or something?

Notes:
The EOWS in Moscow might not be there anymore since a tornado rolled through that area in March.
There's a non-working EOWS in Neville, but I don't remember the exact location. Neville is a very small town though so it shouldn't be hard to find.
