The Siren Board

The entire country of Singapore has quite a few hundred Hormann ECN-series sirens.

I heard there's also a Thunderbolt 2000 (T?) (Not even a typo) installed in there, but my assumption is that it's inactive due to the fact it's surrounded by electronic sirens.

Anyways, I might can say Malaysia's tsunami and high water sirens are operated by Malaysian Meteorological Department, I can say Malaysia's takes the cake.

How many sirens are in Malaysia's system?

Around 300 or so? I didn't have time to hunt every single of them, found around 15 of them. But the main point is that Penang Island and Langkawi Island, Kedah is littered with bunch o' them, excluding some British WW2-Era sirens. Basically, West Coast aread not 'shielded' by the Sumatra Island and literally along the East Coast on populated areas and towns and cities with risk of flooding have a bunch.

That even excluded Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, which is exposed to South China Sea, which might have more. Me and my family will have a bacation trip to Sabah, so I'll try getting pictures of them whenever possible.

Anyways, I made a map in this thread :
Sirens in Malaysia Thread

I forgot to add this one: near where I’ll be living soon when my parents move, and about an hour away from our new home (I’ll be in college in Youngstown but when I’m home on break I’ll be south of Xenia by Dayton) is Hamilton County, Ohio. They have around 190 sirens.

Near where I live at the moment the largest system closest to me is the Unified Regional System in the southeastern portion of Cuyahoga County, OH which is comprised of 19 2001-SRNB’s. Only a handful actually work still which is surprising considering they are all AC/DC models.

Oklahoma's top five:

Oklahoma City - 183 Whelens (Vortex, 2806, 2906, 2808, 2810)
Tulsa - 98 Whelens (2910, 4004)
Norman - 67 Whelen 2910's
Stillwater - 57 Federal (MOD4016, 2T22, STH-10)
Broken Arrow - 54 Whelen 4004's

The Dallas/Fort Worth area and surrounding communities probably has close to 1000 sirens.

And you came up with this number how?

I think that's just a slight exaggeration.

I think it was forum member "Federal500" who had seen the siren. However, he is inactive.

It was a Thunderbolt, with a gas-powered blower. 2000 series, exact model unknown. The head was removed in the 1990s when the Hormann ECNs were installed, unfortunately. No data is available, but I have seen the blower box. Located at SAF Yacht Club. White painted 4M blower, in mint condition.

It was gone, the 2nd time I ever went there. I wonder what happened to it.
