The SD-10 on "Emergency!" was luck on my part because it wasn't very noticeable. I almost missed it, that's how subtle it was. But when I saw it in the background, I instantly knew what it was. On the other hand, the SD-10 on "Adam-12" was as plain as the nose on your face! It wa...

I read in the newspaper a few years ago that the hilly terrain in Jefferson County is the reason why there isn't a county-wide siren system. It's a shame, because look at the High Ridge area and how densely populated it is; there definately should be sirens out that way. Right now, as you know, only...

While watching various episodes of both shows, I've seen Federal SD-10s on both of them. It's not every episode, only once in awhile, but if you watch closely, you'll see them. Just the other day I was watching "Adam-12", and they showed Adam-12 driving along a main street and there was a ...

Nice to "meet" you, metalstorm! Yeah, unfortunately, you're in a siren-free zone in that area, unless you travel to Arnold for their boring ATI's. I know that some other municipalities in Jeffco have their own siren systems, like Festus and Herculaneum. I remember when Crystal City had (or...

No, whelen2900, the rest of the sirens have not been replaced yet. Only 3 out of 12 have. This is a process that will take 4 years to complete.

Tuesday, March 4th, around 1:30 PM.

Hard to believe it's that time of year again. Before we know it, severe weather will be knocking on the door.

I can't believe that a city of 52,000-plus that is prone to tornadoes has no siren system! Kokomo got lucky yesterday in that there were no deaths or serious injuries due to the tornado. I read online that the city opted last year to buy 3,000 weather radios through Best Buy for its citizens instead...

St. Peters now has seven 2001s in place, at least that I know of. I say seven but the official City of St. Peters website states that they have a system of fourteen sirens, but I only know of twelve. So there may be two more 2001s that I don't know about. I've lived in this county for twenty two yea...

I found out that the siren failed to activate for the July monthly test and it was determined that it was struck by lightning in a June thuderstorm. So that 2001 must've been installed in the last few weeks. Pretty good service from Federal to have a 2001 in stock to be delivered that soon. I don't ...

I was out and about yesterday and noticed that the Thunderbeam on McMenamy Road behind the Barnes and Noble (close to Mid Rivers Mall) has been replaced by a 2001. I did some driving around, wondering if any of their other old sirens had been replaced, but the 2001 was the only new one. The two othe...
