The siren is at Northtown Road and Warehouse Rd at an industrial park, just barely in the city limits. I lived in Bloomington for 5 years, just moved back to my hometown.

EDIT Sorry for the double post, I don't know how to delete posts.
I just found a Thunderbolt 1000/T in Arthur, NE, which is very low. The county is Arthur. Do you know something about it?
And I have an offtopic question: what siren is that next to it?

As of right now, Hamilton County has 2 (maybe 3) working thunderbolts left. There is a 4/5 port downtown, as well as a 1000 which I don't think works anymore. There is also a 5/6 port in Anderson Township that still goes off. There are several that still stand, but don't go off.

The 1000 on top of the fire station on Circle Avenue in Spring Grove Village is also still active. There may even be a few more.

All of Hamilton's(Butler County) Thunderbolts are still going, except for one that was recently removed. And the HOR is still sounding as well!
