ACA Hurricane locations help

Wed May 29, 2024 11:13 pm

I've been searching up locations of ACA Hurricanes recently, and as I've been trying to find them on historical aerial views to try to find their exact locations, I can't find them.

I know this one is in Garland, TX somewhere near Fire station #3, but the fire station wasn't even built back when the Garland Hurricane was still up. was there another location before the new location was built in 2007? The 2001 aerial view of the area is actually very crisp, so I should be able to find it. The Hurricane map says it's behind the Upendo Baptist church, but the imagery doesn't actually show any Hurricanes. I even tried the civil defense museum website, and it did say that it was on the corner of Jupiter and Bobbie, but it isn't there either.

Also, does anyone know where this Hurricane was located? It seems like a dumb question, but I genuinely have no idea (please tell me this isn't the same exact Hurricane)

I don't think the map is entirely accurate. The location the map shows the Hurricane used to be isn't actually in the correct spot, as the aerial view from 2001 shows it isn't there.

The Hurricane in Milwaukee is the last one in service, but not the last in existence. Several are in private possession.

I did forget to say as well that the Garland Hurricane was removed in 2004 and sold in an auction to a member on the siren board. The other Hurricane in the picture was also removed!

If I am not mistaken Greg Nieport (excuse me if I misspelled his name) won the Hurricane when it was auctioned off. I haven't a clue of what happened to it, but it is no longer in his possession.

There are no Hurricanes standing in Garland, TX anywhere now. They were removed back in 2004 when Garland purchased an ATI siren system that has since been replaced with Whelen Vortex's that they currently have.

Correct. You can see it pretty well with 2001 Aerial.
