One word: Crane Missouri. A town that is 2 miles "tall" and 1 mile "wide", there are 3 thunderbolts, an Allertor, and a Darley.

I mapped the sirens out for the airport mentioned by the OP. I found 7 2909s and that one 3016. Max distance between two sirens on my map is 925 feet. This system is insane. :crazy:

Im surprised Toluca, Illinois isnt in here.

Ridiculously small town with a cyclone and 4 thunderbolts.

Just about to say that! Toluca is one heavily protected town…

Thank you for doing that man, I meant to take a look and try to map it out but I forgot. This system is really insane indeed, they also have a Federal Model 5 at the fire department (though decommissioned and sitting on the ground). I have seen some pretty amazing systems but this one probably takes the cake, I am glad it got bumped as I think this is a pretty fun topic!

Places I always thought had ridiculous coverage:

The University of Toledo with all of their Modulators, a DSA and one City of Toledo/Lucas County owned siren on each campus.

Dumas, Texas with their huge mix of sirens all seeming so close together.

Fort Riley, an Army base in Kansas has 2 ATI HPSS16s and a 2001-130 that all seem very close to each other.
Resident of a county with big a mixture of sirens, but in the process of being replaced. :(

Locally you have the village of Addyston, Ohio - a small town on the Ohio River in western Hamilton County. They have 3 2001s each spaced half a mile apart to cover an area of just under one square mile.

Slightly OT, but didn't Addyston have a Hurricane at one time? I remember hearing about it a while back...

I believe they did. That might be the one that Clayton has sitting at his shop.
