Judging by the wind-down in the Warrensburg video, the loudest sirens are probably Model 2's. These are running slow, like the ones in Manville, NJ. There's also a 12 port siren in there, but it's hard to tell what it is.

Here's a video I just found from somewhere in OK with numerous STH-10's in Alert, a Thunderbolt also in Alert, and an unknown siren sounding in Attack.

The unknown siren may be an xT22 with either a stuck damper or a blocked intake. I was thinking Model 2 at first, but it winds down too slow for that. It could also be something else.

Nice coverage for a town of 8,300!

What do the other towns near Cushing have? There's at least one rotating siren in those videos that isn't on your list. It may be a Thunderbolt 1000, an RM130, or a low pitched Thunderbeam. The 2001 I heard may in fact be the Sterling.

Dumas and Stinnett are on the same line of latitude, but are in no way close to each other. At least, not close enough to hear each others' sirens.

This video was probably filmed in Stinnett [at least the siren part] Dumas has no single-toned Sentries. Their 10V2T is 3-phase as well.

I was there too just last month, saw nothing but Modulators, the friend I was visiting even told me, "They talk" I'm guessing that maybe the Model 2s part of the UCM system? as there are a lot of buildings around and I could faintly hear a mod in the background.

In the video with the TBeam and the foul language, I cracked up when the guy complained about it getting louder every time. Guess he doesn't know what a rotational siren is.

In the videos from Tulsa, the high pitched sirens are Whelen 3016's. Tulsa has no 2001's that I know of.

I know sofar the only one I've found visually near me (I'm one of the ones with a video in the topic regarding the May 18-20 tornado outbreak) is either a 2909 or 2910. If the weather permits on Wednesday during the noon test, I'll take my camera up there for some filming.
