Nice catch! I thought Greenville took all the Hurricanes down.

EDIT: Never mind, I'm thinking about Garland Tx.

The horn is in a different position than it was in March.

Excellent pictures! :D We really need more pictures of these kind of sirens. They're very rare, you know. Great angle, too. Especially when comparing the horn size to the cars below it. :eek:

VERY cool find! Rare Sirens. Only ACA sirens in denver are Allertors. :) They're still OK.
There is a thunderbolt siren in my head, it is always going off...

Image links busted for me...
Say NO to excessive siren testing - overtesting desensitizes the public.
Say NO to voice siren systems - multiple origins = unintelligible audio.
