Thunderbolt siren in tornado video

[500AT]

This is a video of the Atkins, Arkansas, tornado of February 5, 2008. When you get to the 2:35 point in the video, you can see a Model 1000(T) on the right hand side of the road.

I saw the siren but why didn't it sound?

It might have already gone off for 3 minutes

Perhaps the power was out, and Thunderbolts can only operate on AC power, unless is is connected to an emergency generator that can supply enough power to it.

I have a photo of one of Atkin's Thunderbolt 1000/1000T's:

Here are some storm photos I took awhile back. There was more damage south of the city but my family and I weren't feeling well so we headed back home. Most of down-town Atkins appeared to be relatively unharmed. I found at least three Thunderbolt 1000/1000T's. Two of them on main street and one beside the elementary school in down-town.
