The Siren Board

Well, it seems I'll be going to the Lake of the Ozarks for most of the summer and I was wanting to know if anyone knew what, if any sirens they had? I know most lakes have warning sirens to warn of Lake winds but I've seen them adapted for other uses too.

The region, especially Osage Beach, is lined with Whelen 2800s (it felt like they were everywhere the last time I drove through). Ozarks is a man made lake to power Ameren's hydroelectric operations; winds aren't much of a problem there.

Enjoy your stay! I love it up there.

I thank they do Silent tests. But the Police are so lade back that if you have a siren you can let it wind up a bit not to loud, but if its ok with your neighbors. I have a Thunderbolt and bring it to the lake with me and neighbors do not mind but I do not let it wind all the way up.

Sirens or not you will love the lake have FUN!!!

Ummm. Yeah. No.

Agreed, I do not think they will be "laid back" after it goes off for more than a minute... if even that.

Why would you want to take, let alone set off a Thunderbolt at a lake?

I did not say setting it off I sad "Wind up a bit" like a growl that only my neighbors can hear. Sorry did not mean to offend any one.

I'm here in Branson and all I've seen is 2700s.

Branson ≠ Lake of the Ozarks. Branson is on Lake Taneycomo and surrounded by Bull Shoals and Table Rock Lake. All Branson has is 2700s, but you'll find Thunderbolts all around rural Stone and Taney County (drive out to Branson West and there is a Thunderbolt, a damn good looking one, behind the Wal-Mart. Galena, at one point, had one of the lowest mounted Thunderbolts I'd ever seen; not sure if it is still there or not). I'm not sure what kind of sirens are around the resorts of Table Rock.

If you get a chance to drive north into Christian County, you'll see every which thing. Ozark for sure has a Thunderbeam along Highway 65 near the Tracker factory (I think there's another one somewhere else, too) and a rotating Whelen in town. Nixa has an SD-10 along Highway 160 and a Whelen 2805 at the high school. There are some Thunderbolts in the panhandle of Christian County and into Lawrence County. If you were to make it up to Greene County and Springfield, we're 2001 country up here; nothing much to note unless you wanted to see a late model STH-10 and two roof mounted SD-10s on Missouri State's campus.

It also seems a lot of the smaller towns have Sentrys. I know of at least a 10V and 3V8 in Aurora and I believe Stockton has a 7V8-B (not totally sure on that one). There's at least one other town, whose name escapes me, that has a Sentry 10V2T. I saw it quickly and don't for the life of me remember where it is.

The Lake of the Ozarks region, which is more in the mid-part of the state just south of Jefferson City, is lined with 2800s.

This is probably more than you ever wanted to know!

I was in Springfield back in March to see Jeff Dunham at the JQH Arena on the MSU campus, I saw the STH-10 (near some athletic fields and the arena), along with a nearby 2001, never saw the SD-10s though, I had a video showing the 2001, but may have deleted it.
