Here's a street view on Google Maps. I can't believe an active Hurricane has been this close all along! Incredible find, Joe. I can't wait to hear it.

NICE!!! Great find Joe, and glad it is still in service. I will have to see that one when I come up this summer.

Can't wait to hear it.

The blower is located on the side of the pole in the large yellow enclosure.

If my road trip to Wisconsin is still on I'll have to go see this bad boy. Thanks for sharing.

I am hoping someone will be getting a video of this beast? 8)
Now if only one would pop up around here I would be really happy.

The blower-casing and -platform are rather small on the Hurricane, though the actual motor and pneumatic systems actually seem slightly heftier than those of a Thunderbolt, as seen in Nelso's pics, not to mention that a Hurricane's blower has a big thirty horsepower, kinda large for such a small package!

Great job with the pics, Joe!

I think I know what I'm going to do with my other week of vacation this year. Glad to hear this beast is still active.
