The Siren Board

This is the kind of video you only get once a year. Lenawee County's Siren drill was earlier this evening at 5:55. This is the only time of the year all the sirens in the county are tested. This Thunderbolt 1003 is located at the Fire Dept. in Hudson, a town on the western border of the county. The town also has a new 2001-130 about a mile north east of this Thunderbolt. The wind was being tricky again today and messed with the camera a bit, but its not too bad. Pics are from a few months back on a sunny late fall day. Enjoy! 8)

Nice, that wind down was a real treat!
Did it try to do hi/lo at the beginning?

I'm thinking this thing was manually set off and someone was messing around in the RCM 3 and bumped the flasher switch into test mode. Its the only reason I can think of why the solenoids were operating. And yeah not often to get a wind down like this one. It just rattled everything in person.

who was the ricer with the fart can on his car after the siren wound down?

Those solenoids are louder than I thought. I can clearly hear them go thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk-thunk. Nice. Would have been a treat for those to keep going as the siren actually activated.
