How Many other towns use Thunderbeams?

Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:57 am

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

-Jefferson County, AL (Bham Metro,hoover, bessemer, etc)
- Shelby County, AL (Bham metro, pelham, hoover)
- Prattville, AL has a few scattered around
- Montgomery, AL used to have a system of tbeams and tbolts.
- Mobile, AL has a few in their system too.
- Huntsville, AL also uses tbeams along with others.

There are a few tbeams in the hinds county/ Jackson, MS area and the Memphis, Tn area.

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.

Palatine, Ill has one Thunderbeam at a water tower.

Wheeling, IL's entire system is composed of Thunderbeams, I believe.

Shawnee County has numerous Thunderbeams, most of them being in Topeka. Rossville had one but it was replaced. Silver Lake has one. Johnson County, KS did have some. Leavenworth, Kansas has 1 behind the K-mart.

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