I think that's just a slight exaggeration.
Is the former siren mounted on the ground or on the roof? Anyways, one could still put a typical 1000 series head on the blower's standpipe.Jake_7367 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 6:32 amI think it was forum member "Federal500" who had seen the siren.

(Not even a typo) installed in there, but my assumption is that it's inactive due to the fact it's surrounded by electronic sirens.
Anyways, since Malaysia's tsunami and high water sirens are operated by Malaysian Meteorological Department, I can say Malaysia's takes the cake.
It was a Thunderbolt, with a gas-powered blower. 2000 series, exact model unknown. The head was removed in the 1990s when the Hormann ECNs were installed, unfortunately. No data is available, but I have seen the blower box. Located at SAF Yacht Club. White painted 4M blower, in mint condition.
It was gone, the 2nd time I ever went there. I wonder what happened to it.
I would imagine they aren’t all controlled by one endpoint. Ie: not a single system.insertusernamehere94 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 8:51 amuncommonsense wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 2:20 amAnd you came up with this number how?insertusernamehere94 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 1:12 amThe Dallas/Fort Worth area and surrounding communities probably has close to 1000 sirens.

There was no replacement for it.FahmiRBLX wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2019 10:56 pmIs the former siren mounted on the ground or on the roof?

But did the ECN ever gets put on the standpipe if the Thunderbolt it replaced is ground-mounted?
Huh, thought Columbus/Franklin County was. Guess not. I’m gonna be moving down that way in a month or two just east of Dayton and south of Xenia.carexpertandy wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2019 4:10 pmHamilton County, Ohio has over 190 sirens. It’s the largest system in Ohio.
I just checked, and Franklin County now has 196 sirens, according to their EMA’s website. So both systems are very comparable. Hamilton County used to have about 50 more sirens than Franklin County. However, they do not indicate if that includes Dublin’s sirens, and they activate theirs separately from the rest of Franklin County.fire_freak_57 wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 2:19 amHuh, thought Columbus/Franklin County was.
