About the Milwaukee post a week ago

Fri Jul 19, 2024 12:46 am

So last week I made a post about the sirens being replaced and saved as a joke. I guess it got a little out of hand so I'm sorry about doing all that.

Spreading misinformation and impersonating people aren't good thing to do, even as a joke. People may not realize it's a joke and will genuinely believe it, and that's problematic. I hope you do better than this in the future.

It takes great courage to step up and apologize, it would have been funny but the impersonation took it a bit too far. Thank you for the apology, you were correct about one thing though. The project has now commenced and will be done rapidly. It is, however, a complete system replacement.

Sorry this is off-topic but I would like to know one thing: Will the hurricane be coming down? I've heard some people say it won't but I want a solid answer.

I have been told by the SWS workers themselves that for the sake of siren enthusiasts, the Hurricane is staying up. It will not entirely be part of the new system. However, it may test with the county and/or be used as a backup siren for whatever siren is mounted nearby it. In addition, I was even told they want to replace the dying blower with a Thunderbolt blower.

SWS workers reading the chat, if anything I said is false then feel free to add corrections. I just go by what y'all told me

I'm pretty sure they're keeping it in the new system. From what I've heard from videos and maps is that they changed the radio on the Hurricane so that it's now apart of the new system. ASC is also making sure that it will stay alive for as long as possible! (although it could be SWS that takes care of the Hurricane.)

I still might be incredibly wrong about this though, as I'm not a SWS worker. I don't even live in Wisconsin!

The Hurricanes definitely going to stay up for a pretty long time. One thing i wonder is if someone will buy the Hurricane and refurbish it do... :?:

Not too sure about that one. If ASC or SWS are keeping it alive and how its radio was changed to be apart of Milwaukee's new system, it definitely isn't for sale. The blower may already be beyond repair, but I do at least hope it can be fixed enough to sound way better!

Isn't the problem with the blower anyways that it's leaking oil, which is causing the blower to heat up and seize as it's on? I'm not an expert on the repair jobs of blowers, but it does seem doable as long as the leakage is in somewhere that's accessible.

It should be repairable, but we also know a lot less about Hurricane blowers than we do T-bolts. ACA/ASC may have used something funky and custom that's not unobtanium. I have my doubts, though.
