Elk City, OK

This should probably be in the Oklahoma Thread, but whatever. I was bored the other night and was looking around on SV for sirens in OK. I searched to see in anyone else had brought this up, but apparently [according to the city website] Elk City has 19 sirens. I found 15 of them, and I am assuming the other three are in places that are not accessible by SV. They have really bad over coverage. :) Mix of Thunderbolts, XT22's, and Sentry 40V2T's.

It would make for a pretty awesome ambiance recording. [COUGH Dillon, Rhett, KDKsiren, et al.]

Here is a map I created. I cant figure out how to share my maps on Google. Help would be appreciated.

Wow, never knew there were 40V2Ts in Elk City. Overcoverage is good, IMHO. My hometown was crazy packed with 2T22s back in the day, so we always knew when there was a Tomato Warning. I gotta get out there!

What do you use to make those maps?

I guess it's better to have too much coverage than not enough, but I honestly can't think of why you'd need two or three 120+dB sirens spaced 5 blocks apart like that. Whoever sold them those Sentrys must be laughing all the way to the bank.

To post a link to a Google Maps page to a site, all you have to do it follow these steps.

One, near the top left, there is a chain icon. Click it.
Two, to cut down on space, check the "short URL" box.
Three, copy and paste the link to the site you want it posted to.

Here is a picture that I pointed out where everything is.
