The Siren Board

Either a 3T or 2T also a tbolt. Just from about 30 mins ago. Little story on why I recorded these or were NEAR one when they went off. I was helping a buddy finish up his camaro and I had my video camera we recorded the 1st start of his car since the motor tear down. Well little did I know today was the 1st wedensday and he lives about 2 houses from that 1st siren. I about shat my pants when it went off. So i was like ok ill run across the street and record it and while i was at it I ran down the road about 1/4 a mile to record the tbolt. Well as i was sitting at the stoplight in the video that tbolt went off RIGHT ABOVE ME with my windows open!!!! I forgot how loud those things are close up as I have never stood next to one when it went off. Enjoy

WOW! That T-1000 has a nice raspy sound to it! Sounds evil, I like!

Awesome videos! How long did they test in the attack cycle? Johnson County has a great mix of models, I can't wait til next summer because i am going to try and get De Soto's Thunderbeam in Attack. Also, i do know there is a STH-10 somewhere in Overland Park. Will have to ask the County EM about it, he seems to be a real nice guy.

They both went off for about 5 minutes. I didnt get it all just enough to post on here. Also how does the county/city set off so many sirens in a short amount of time. We have TONS of them in shawnee,overland park, lenexa. I can think of about 6 sirens in a 2 mile area of my house.

wow sweet videos. that tbolt sounds like how one should sound nice deep raspy sound.

Not sure about Johnson County but i believe they have activation points. Shawnee and Douglas County both have 2 or 3 activation points of which they activate the sirens from. I do know some cities in JOCO can activate the sirens them self which may be the case. Here is a map of the sirens in the Shawnee Mission area. (Ignore the red circles as they are sirens in KCMO.)

EDIT: Gardner, Lenexa, Olathe and OP are the cities that can activate their own sirens. You can find a lot more information including a map of the sirens at their website:

Sorry to drag the topic up but where are those two sirens located? I have a Complete list of siren locations in JOCO but not the models. Thanks!

The 3T would be at 74th st and Nieman and the Tbolt would be at 67th St and Nieman rd at Nieman School
