There is a Thunderbolt near the Adam's Mark hotel in downtown Denver. It's been a year since I was down there, but I remember it distinctly. I wish I could remember what building it was on!!

One of 41 Whelen sirens throughout the city.

During Aurora's 7 p.m. 4-26 tornado warning (no tornado) the sirens wavered up and down, not up to a long steady tone, then down.
Aurora (and many other communities across the nation) use the wail tone for tornado warnings. Its really up to communities to decide what tone they want to use for warnings or alerts, like here in Tullahoma we sound our Whelen sirens in steady tone alert mode in 3 minute intervals during tornado warnings but the city of McMinnville (city northeast of my county) sounds all of there Federal signal (4 2001's and 2 modulators) sirens in wail mode for 3 minute intervals during tornado warnings.

Thank you, Tyler

What is the timing of a Tornado Warning Wail cycle?
7 seconds ON / 5 seconds OFF for 3 to 5 minutes?

Still have not found the Thunderbolt near the Adam's Mark Hotel.

I heard on ***(I've been asked not to use this word before so there is now an automatic replacement censor)*** a 2t22 sounding 9 seconds ON/6 seconds OFF.
