There are some 5's in our town and there is a few STH-10's around here, and numerous 2001's, bolts, and xt22s and such, there are a few mystery sirens that are in Louisville / Jefferson county KY, that we have identified and took photos of, and they will come soon.

No, I don't think so. From the talking in the video, it sounds like this was shot in Salem, IN, which I believe is in Orange County. I don't think we had a tornado warning here in Louisville that day, but they had some bad storms go through Indiana. I heard the guy on the video say something about baseball size hale in Scott County.


About the sirens, that's definitely a Model 5, and several 2001's. It's a shame they edited out the 5's wind-down.

I believe that all the Model 5's here are no longer in active service, and they haven't been for some time. I think most, if not all of them, were independent of the city system, and they were used for noon blasts, and fire calls. I bet Salem, IN has a fiew of them still in service, that they use for tornado warnings though.

Hey Josh, do you remember that I told you over the phone the other day that the Westport fire district No. 1 on Westport Road was still using there model 5 on the roof for noon blasts, because I know for a fact it sounded one time a year or two ago and just recently when i was coming home from school because there was a wasp's nest in it and the guys were servicing it or something and almost got stung.

I forgot about that Model 5 you told me about. I still don't think it's part of the city's system though.
