The Siren Board

If all goes well this Saturday I will get a recording of the monthly test of the tornado sirens. I will probably get it from about 300 feet from one of the sirens.

A word of advice....I was about 300 yards away when I shot that Vortex a couple months ago. Depending on how sensitive your mic is, I wouldn't want to get any closer.

Hopefully tomorrow at noon the sirens will sound. I'm going to go 100 feet in front of it. I learned my lesson about going any closer than that. If they do sound tomorrow it will be 3 minutes of alert. They are calling for partly cloudy skies hopefull it will be sunny. I'll just keep my fingers crossed!!!! And hopefully my mic can handle it???

cool cant wait 2 c the vid

I got the recording. It was awsome!!!!! I was actually about 100 feet away from the siren and my recorder handled it perfectly, my ears are still ringing( that was 3 minutes of a 129 dB siren without hearing protection). It will be a while before I can get it uploaded on the computer, my computer is down, I'm using a friends right now. Give me a couple days and I'll have it up and ready!
