That Garden City SD one looks to be on a hardwood board, that's probably at least 4 inches thick.
Which is just as sturdy as a normal mount.

And as for the one with the "Camo" growing around it.
I find it strange that at the top of the wall there's no clamp, and it looks to not have any guide wires.

All are very scary.

That would be a Sterling Little Giant siren! :D

In Norman, Oklahoma, there was a thunderbolt that had a pole leaning at nearly a 70* angle. They replaced it a while back though with another pole. And I'm sure you all know about the Thunderbolt with the broken rotator in Norman...it might be as simple as a drive belt popped off that you could get up there in a bucket truck and fix in maybe 45 minutes... :roll:

This one right here was stolen about 3 years ago.

Was this one replaced with a T-128?

How exactly does one steal a siren from the roof of a building? :shock:

I think the other one was replaced with a T-128, but I'm not sure. Haven't had time to compare notes yet.

Well, the guys that did it must've used a crane, or they took it apart. By the way, that is a bad area there.

If this one is located next to the water tower on Miami Rd, yes, it has been replaced with a T-128.

How bout this one? A Cyclone at eye level. Good thing it is disconnected! Oh yeah. Behind the ill Cyclone is Three Mile Island, or TMI (the nuclear plant). It is a demo siren for people to see, but it doesn't work. Image
