The Siren Board

I've found that, outside of the few largest cities, information on Nebraska sirens is hard to come by. I've searched youtube and this forum but still came up with very little. I'm surprised since Nebraska is very tornado prone and I'd assume there would be more videos of tests and warnings. If you have any information about what type of sirens the following towns (or counties the towns are in) use, please post it here. Even general information such as what siren company is predominantly used in Nebraska would be appreciated.

Lincoln has Thunderbolts from what I gather, with a few 2001s as well.
I'm sure Tyler Shaw (antiwhoknows) can tell you about these places.

Me and Jonah A. found that siren on a skype siren hunt thing a year or so ago. We said it was a single headed Federal Model B or something along the lines of that.

I was with y'all when we found it.
I don't think a true consensus was reached to what it is.

Oh yeah, you were that one guy over there. I seem to recall some speculation about us saying it was a Model B. I'm not saying it is, but rather that is a partially scientific estimation.

Here's what Tyler (Antiwhoknows) and I have complied together for what sirens are in each municipality you have listed. If you want more detailed information (locations, specific types, etc) for any of the places listed, let me know and I'll see what I can find on them. Also, if anybody else sees anything we missed or knows of any others (or any other useful information for that matter), feel free to chime in!

@Ian, to add on to your compiled list that I've seen in my travels, Kimball also has what appears to be a Sentry 10v in a park south of hwy 30. Bridgeport also has a Screamer on the south end of town in an alley by hwy 385, a model 2 (not sure if a "t" but is fairly new) downtown by a repair shop, and also an old probably disconnected federal on top of Platte valley bank, as noted on the misc photos forum.

Where in Sidney is the 3t22? I remember a 1003A thunderbolt used to be at 17th and Parkland before it was removed a few years ago.

To add on to the list, Dix has a Model 5 and an old federal on top of town hall, and an Eclipse about a block to the south of the hall. Potter has two Whelen sirens on both ends of town and a screamer by the railroad tracks at the town's entrance. Hemingford has a Xt22 behind their fire hall. Crawford has a Thunderbolt 1003 and two Sterlings, behind the fire hall, also noted on the misc photos forum.

Thanks for the info! I'll admit, I think by the end of it Tyler and I weren't looking all too hard in those areas that we didn't already know what they had for sure, so we probably missed a good few of them. Kimball also has a 3T22 on W 5th St & between Locust & Cedar, but I didn't know about the 10V.

As for the 3T22 in Sidney, it is across the street from the 2001-130 on the north end of town, at 17th & Ash I believe. It's just downhill from the big water tank and still appears to be connected to power.

Thanks so much for everyone that replied. Murrfarms, you're info is ridiculously helpful! Thank you so, so much!! Iowa siren info is lacking also. Does anyone have Iowa info like this? Exact locations aren't a big deal, just looking for generally what models each county/county seat has.
