Does anyone know of any siren locations in Cuyahoga County, OH? (The county Cleveland is in.)
What sirens I know of currently are:
Independence: (1) Thunderbolt 1000, and (1) Model 5/7
Seven Hills: (2) Model 5/7's
Lakewood: (1) Modulator and (1) EOWS-612
Brecksville: (1) WPS-2809, and (1) T-128.
I have been searching as I update my Northeast Ohio Siren Map, which can be found here:

Brook Park has several 2001-130s.
Brooklyn has a 2001-SRNB and a Whelen Vortex.
Along I-90 east of downtown Cleveland, there's a Model 5 with most of the housing gone on top of some old building.

Here are some other sirens for your map:
Loudonville (Ashland County): XT22
Perrysville (Ashland County): XT22
Ashland: At least one Thunderbolt, and at least 2 STL-10 sirens
I have been through Wooster and I believe they have a siren system but I can't recall what models. I think Mansfield does too, or at least Ontario. I believe Ontario had several 2001's.

There was an episode of the Drew Carey Show that featured tornado sirens in downtown... does Cleveland even have a system?

They used to, but not anymore.

Do you know where some of those locations are at in Ashland?

Well, a while back on YouTube,
bulldozer950 commented on a few videos and once on my channel that the city has/had Vortexes and Hornets. Although, I still cannot find them.

The Loudonville and Perrysville sirens are at each village's fire station.
In Ashland, there is a ThunderBolt on top of the county courthouse (still there according to Googlemaps). There is an STL-10 on the south side of Ashland, at the Fairgrounds.
There was another I recall out toward Buehler's on the east side.
Ontario by Mansfield has several 2001's.
I know the Central Ohio systems pretty well, but that's outside your territory.

OSU Wooster campus has three sirens according to their site. Probably Whelen.
The county EMA sites are awful. None have siren maps. Only Franklin County does a decent job showing siren locations.
The state EMA used to have a section that showed the general locations of most of the siren locations in the state but that apparently got pulled a few years ago.

OK, I found out that Wooster does not have a siren system, although they have tried for years to purchase a system.

That is interesting. A few years ago I saw a EMA map of Wayne County and showed a few locations in the far south of Wooster. I bet that was one of the EMA maps that got pulled as you described.
Oh, and as I was browsing through the web last night I found that Perry Nuclear Plant and surrounding areas have a siren network. The FirstEnergy pamphlet you can view online, as well as the Lake County EMA site mentions general info about their sirens and when they are sounded but does not give locations.

Do you or anyone might know were any sirens are at in Lake County or Ashtabula County? The only one I could find was a Whelen WS-2016 in Grand River.
