Bi-Monthly test of one of Huntington's Screamers. It would appear that, for some reason, these are slowly being replaced with Sentry 3v8-H's. All of the pole mounted Screamers are still active but the 2 roof mounted ones have been replaced and both have been recorded.

I believe there is (or was) another roof-mounted Screamer in an industrial park on the SW side of town. It should be on the north side of the roof of a building north of the water tower on Riverfork Dr.

I think I see the screamer on Bing maps. Wonder if it's been replaced. Didn't know about that one or I would have checked while I was up there. Do you happen to know where the siren is that's near Tipton St and Stutts Rd? Have that down as a location but have never actually found it.

I remember reading somewhere that there were just 9 sirens in Huntington, so you should have them all. Noting the gap in coverage, I've wondered if there was another siren around like Huntington Labs (EcoLab now I think) just west of that intersection, but never saw anything around there when I lived there growing up and can't find anything else online.
