Sorry to bump this, but in recent times, some more remaining Houston thunderbolts turned up. These locations include, but are not limited to:
Southmayd Elementary School
Kelso Elementary School
Blodger St. near Ennis
Settegast Park
Kashmere Gardens Elementary School
and lastly, Cimmaron Elementary School.
In typical Houston fashion, they are all the exact same as the aforementioned units, however the blower, controls, and platform are missing from Kelso. Where they went, I frankly have no idea. Also in an interesting turn of events, we uncovered, via. newspapers.com, that the two remaining bolts in the ship channel are most likely jailbars that were installed in late 1952. I do not have the article handy, but I will comb around and see if I can pull it up to post here. Again sorry for the bump but I had some relevant information to contribute.
