That's the one you did your video on, eh? It's got a nice bite!

No, I found this video a couple days ago. Mine is on my channel, ACAPenetrator50.

Hey Ian, thanks for posting and making this! I mapped these a year or two ago but didn't actually make a map like you did.

I have one to add: there is a P-10/15 in a park along 794, here it is on street view.

Is it possible for someone to make a coverage map, with the dB circles at 70 dB for the list?

I'll have to add the locations at a later date. I'm going to Florida tomorrow so I won't be home, and I've been super busy.

If you wait until I get back and get a chance to, I can make a map of the sirens for you! It'll be a solid week until I get the chance to though.

On that PDF, it says that one of Oak Creek's P-50s doesn't rotate! Just saw it on there, didn't pay attention to it before.

Here is some info from the Oak Creek Patch on the non rotating P 50 in Oak Creek. It has been replaced with a T-135 and the P 50 was removed last week.

A tornado siren at 2651 E. Ryan Road failed to operate during a recent test of the city's warning system, which led the Oak Creek Common Council to authorize spending for a new one.

The city will replace the siren, which was installed in 1996, for an estimated $34,290, according to a report to council members. Aldermen approved the measure unanimously Tuesday.

Oak Creek has three sirens in the city. The other two are at the Oak Creek Little League complex, 7800 S. 6th St., and near Erv's Mug

Those two sirens worked property during the test, but city officials say the same problems could come up there and plan to replace them over the next two years.

Here is another article from the Oak Creek Patch on the status of the cities other 2 sirens.


The city of Oak Creek will replace aging tornado sirens at the Little League complex and near the intersection of Howell Avenue and Ryan Road.

The Oak Creek Common Council is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a $73,854 bid from the American Signal Corporation to replace both sirens. The money would come from funds the city gets from hosting the We Energies power plant.

The sirens are about 20 years old, and old technology and unavailability of parts has made them obsolete, according to a report to council members. Officials say the sirens are a vital part of warning residents about severe storms and other emergency situations.

The other siren in Oak Creek, at 2651 E. Ryan Road, was replaced last year

The P-50 in the baseball park was replaced with a 135 today. I am guessing the one on Ryan Road by Walgreens will be replaced tomorrow.
