Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T
Bates Elementary
Louisville, KY
Siren #10
Test recorded during the Kentucky Statewide Tornado Drill on March 5, 2013
Distance from siren: 615 feet

I showed up anticipating just another ordinary Thunderbolt, but the echo I heard during and just after the windup sent chills down my spine. I knew it was healthy since I had heard it before, but this 'bolt was ROCKIN!

The Cedar Creek Baptist Church must blare Jesus jingles 24/7...I remember dropping Josh off there for a recording sometime in 2012 and the damn bells were a problem then, too. It was 10:11 when the siren shut off, but the music was still going strong. No idea if it ever stops.

I must apologize for the audio issues in this video. There was clipping at the 54 second mark and a volume drop out during the wind down (if you can call it that). Being 615 feet away, I figured I could up the recording volume to 25, but I saw that meter on the camera spike and had to quickly revert to auto volume mode, which does compress the audio. Most of my other videos are 100% uncompressed for your audio pleasure. This practice will resume with my next video.

Stay tuned next week for the regularly-scheduled Jefferson County test. I am eyeing Roosevelt, Audubon, or Newburg Boys & Girls Club. As of right now, rain is in the forecast, but we shall see.

Thank you for watching!
