Circleville, Ohio Tornado Warning

[jkvernon]

Here's a video from a few days ago of a tornado warning for Circleville. In it you can hear a Whelen Vortex running at 440hz, 560hz, and one running in Whoop near the middle. You can also hear a couple of their EOWS*612s running in alert. One sounds normal and the other sounds deeper than it should.

I had a great grandmother that used to live in circleville. I have some old pictures from back when I was like 4-5 years old visiting there. Dont remember anything but the pictures showed her house by a creek, a railroad track and I remember my mom telling me there was some mine around her house or somthing.

Sorry to bring back a dead topic, but I was in Circleville last night and saw that the High St. SiraTone has been replaced with a Whelen Vortex.

In the tornado warning video I posted above, I could hear a newer Whelen doing alert, so I was suspicious that they had either added or replaced a siren. I was in Circleville yesterday for their annual Pumpkin Show, and saw that the 612 was gone, replaced with a brand new Vortex.

Just for reference, the High St. siren is the one featured in these videos...

Circleville has 2 remaining 612s, and the other 5 sirens they have are all Whelens.

If I'm wrong, then please feel free to correct me, but I believe that the EOWS and Siratone sirens have a potentiometer in them for adjusting the pitch. Adam has a video on his channel of a lower pitched 612 in Brentwood, MO, and it sounds a whole lot like the lower pitched one in this video. I'll have to do some serious digging, but there's another vid on YouTube somewhere featuring an even lower pitched EOWS than that one, sounding during a tornado warning.
