San Onofre, CA nuclear plant siren mis-activated

[kx250rider]

Of all the lousy timing for an accidental siren sounding to scare people... One or more of the sirens at the San Onofre Nuclear Plant started up at 4:30 AM, and wailed for about an hour, according to witnesses. The timing was awful, as parts of the CA coast were under dangerous weather warnings, including a tornado-like thing that killed a 21-year-old man in bed in Ventura County earlier in the day. So with the wild weather, some people were panicking and looking for a tornado when the siren sounded. The wind at our place was incredible. It blew iron patio furniture all over the place, and ripped a whole course of roofing off a fairly new porch.

What type of siren do they have?

[Justin]

Whelen Omnis of some description. I've taken one or two shots passing by a few on the way to Tijuana. That's what they had out near Camp Pendleton and that nuclear facility.

Same place. Now my geography skills are working...

Horrible photos but you get the idea. Standard Omni install, really...
WPS-2810
WPS-2805?

This must be a older system ... Not in use?

Those are the old Toshiba sirens which were retired from the SONGS system in favor of Whelen WPS2810s and 2805s.
