Cincinnati Metropolitan Area Sirens

The wires for the solenoids look like they were replaced those aren't original. :think:

I'm not sure if anyone ever noticed or even mentioned it, but that 3rd generation 2001-SRN on Dixie Highway in Boone County that got destroyed has been replaced with a 2001-130, which I saw on my way to Florida on Friday, June 5. It is even shown in a street view picture from September 2014.

Wasn't that the onle that got hit by a car? Or am I thinking of something else?

Not really sure if it got hit by a car. As you can see in this street view image, the pole actually split, and the bottom half still stands.

We did hear about a T-128 in Hamilton County that was recently hit by a truck, and Werden stopped to give advice to an ANS guy that was trying to fix it. I can even recall hearing about other sirens being hit by cars, whether it be around here or in other parts of the US. The only other one I remember from around here is a restored P-15 that was installed in Clermont County, which got hit not long after installation and before it was even hooked up.

It looks like the pole was hit by a car by these markings:

but it also looks like the pole is rotten.

Or just old.

I'm not sure how many of you heard yet, but apparently, a few sirens in downtown were activated this afternoon just to warn the people who were around for the All-Star Game festivities about the severe thunderstorm that passed through. My dad told me he heard about it when I got home from work this evening.

Yup. There were funnels in Alexandria, and I'm pretty sure I saw one as well. No sirens here though.
