Electra Tx Sirens.

It along with the other sirens in town will be set off for fires and tornado warnings. I will definatly miss the hi-...

Re: Electra Tx first Monday siren test.

I watched them load everything, the head, blower box, standpipe, and control boxes in a trailer and haul it away. I was told they were taking it to the city shop. No idea what they are doing with it.

While driving in Roscoe Tx, I found these sirens around town. The 508 looks like a new install next to an old model 5 or 7. The Sterling still sits in Downtown Roscoe. Looks like the sterling is still active.see

Electra Tx first Monday siren test.

This is the first Monday of the month test of Electra Texas storm warning sirens. The town has 2 2001s, 2 federal eclipse and 1 thunderbolt 1003. I live between the tbolt and a 2001, but if you listen closely you can hear the eclipse which is west of me about a mile away when the tbolt shuts down. T...
