Sirens and Watertowers

[500AT]

I honestly can't remember how many cities and villages I have passed through in North America, where you find an outdoor warning siren mounted under a water tower. Sadly, with the older water towers being replaced by new ones every year, this natural habitat for sirens is starting to disappear. So I thought for the fun of it, why not start a thread that shows photos of outdoor sirens mounted on water towers.

This now demolished water tower in Almont, Michigan, was home to a Whelen WS/WPS-2000-16:



I believe this is a W.S. Darley Model 5 located in Bancroft, Michigan?



This Model 5/7 is located in Columbus Grove, Ohio:



Sentry 3V8 or 7V8 is Spiceland, Indiana:

A water tower in Milaca, MN has three Screamers on it. There should be another that is behind the reservoir.

Here's a Thunderbolt 1000 on the Mt. Airy water tower in Cincinnati. It is on the left.


Sterling M on Wakita, OK's water tower. I never recall seeing the siren in the movie Twister.

Almont also had a model 5 behind the Speaker array.
Holly has a Sterling and SD-10.

Wasn't Wakita, OK, the town that got destroyed in the movie "Twister?" They used the standard Model 2 sound effect for that scene.
