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)

The hurricane was located off of Lawrence drive and High Plateau drive. 32.954812810486914, -96.66849739944544
Correct. You can see it pretty well with 2001 Aerial.

I remember seeing this siren in person back in the late 90's growing up in Garland. It was near a creek that fed into Duck Creek.

I actually saw this a few weeks ago but I forgot to reply, but thanks for the location of one of the hurricanes! I'm still wondering about the first Hurricane I was talking about, though.

The Hurricane was at the old Fire Station #3 at Jupiter Rd. & Bobbie Ln. before the station moved down the street to Jupiter Rd. & O'Henry. The Hurricane had already been removed.

I've checked there when I first wanted to find the location. I took a screenshot of the aerial view in 2001, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The map says it's in the alley behind the Upendo Baptist Church, but I can't find it there either.
