I'm always amazed to see sirens kludged together like that. I guess I'm fortunate to live somewhere that has funding available to repair or replace broken sirens.

Looks like a B&M siren of some sorts, it seems to me that the original motor burned out and as such they either took a rotor off and slapped a pully there to keep the siren working.
....I dunno, that top picture looks a bit squirrely if you ask me.

It's a B&M 20-AR-10 with one of the rotors removed. Either the motor died or they didn't have three phase. It hasn't been used in 20 years and doesn't work anymore, according to the town.

This one is located behind the Miami Gardens Shopping Plaza (I searched the image up to find it), but I don't exactly know where it was located.

Here is another one of a Thunderbolt 1000T in Miami with a really weird mount, on a sign!

Wow, what on earth happened to that 3T22? Is that a massive birds nest?

I think it's a hawk or osprey nest. They usually like to nest in high up places, and a 3T22 is apparently a good place to put one, probably because of the large surface area it has by the horns.
