Do you know of any town that uses a full fleet of Thunderbeam sirens?
Newark is predominantly Thunderbeam with a mix of a couple other sirens

Claremore, OK installed new Whelen Vortexes throughout their city, but still use their older ThunderBeams as a backup system.
No idea how many Thunderbeams they have or how many Vortexes they have.

Correct, my friend down there says about every other Thunderbeam has a Vortex next to it.

Palatine, Ill has one Thunderbeam at a water tower.
Wheeling, IL's entire system is composed of Thunderbeams, I believe.

Heheh. Cool thread, I love tbeams, they are probably the most unique siren out there.

Detroit was half T-bolts and Half T-beams. Many of the T-beams have been replaced with 2001's.
