This Thunderbolt 1000 on top of Whitaker Elementary School in the Finneytown/Springfield Twp. area in Cincinnati, Ohio failed to activate for the monthly test on 2/4/09.
I remember hearing this siren sound a few times in 2008, and it when it would sound in alert, it had a few small wavers, which makes me think the brushes may have gone bad. Could it be anything else?
I reported this to the Hamilton County EMA, and they said they will have it fixed, and when they order replacements (most likely T-128s), this will be one of the first to be moved.
There is a system recording in this video, but you will need to turn your speakers up!
I have been worried about this siren for several months, because it has been in the same position for a while.
