take an EXTREMELY close look, if it was a whelen vortex the horn would look shorter.

If you look closely, you can see that the horn looks more like the top of a WS-3000 or 4000.

I thought it was a MK1 at first too until I looked closer!

I'm starting to see how it could be more of a MK1, but I'm still sticking with a Whelen of some sorts. The angle of the picture and the trees in the way certainly doesn't help at all with figuring out what it actually is.

If this is a MK1, it probably wouldn't be there anymore. Is there any way of seeing when the picture was taken, or even where it was taken?

It resembles the top half of a 3000, but if you look closely you only see two of those tube things. I don't know what they are called.

Kinda does look like a hurricane, if it is, it's probably removed. Even though there were rumors of a square horned hurricane left in the US, just that no one knew where it was, its probably false tho.

No doubt it's a Whelen. The tree is partially in the way of the horn making it look like the horn of a Hurricane
