Wow, it must've been loud! Does anyone know the dB ratings on that?

I don't know if anyone knows the ratings, but it is quite loud. There are several videos of it on YouTube.

If I'm correct, and I may not be, but the siren outputs 150dB at 100 feet, right?

No, No. That would be louder than the loudest siren, the Chrysler Air Raid, which is 138db @ 100 feet. My best guess would be in between 123-128. It would be about 150 db at 75 feet, so you are kind of right, just wrong distance.
Also, mrboojay, did Kenton County turn on the sirens today? My dad heard some 2001s from Kenton County, or that's what he told me.

OhioSirenHunter: I have no idea, I live in Boone County. 4J25 may be the one to ask for that.
HOR Db debate: I says
here that it is 125.

I wouldn't consider that to be a reliable source though.

I might've heard some 2001s, but I doubt it. I was in school though, so it would be hard to hear them anyways.
