*IMPORTANT UPDATE 05/28/2023: This siren was removed and was taken to the repair shop for repairs to the siren. The chopper motor is dead. County plans to reinstall this siren by spring 2024. I repeat, this siren will be reinstalled and put back in service next year.*
Up close recording of this in attack and hi-lo: • SC Statewide Tornado D...
Shot (by my father) on March 9, 2016. This is a distance recording of this siren sounding 3 minute attack ("take cover") and 3 minute hi-lo (fire signal) for the 2016 South Carolina statewide tornado drill at 9:00am ET. This recording was taken at Lester Street and Havird Street (0.35 miles away from this siren).
I know there's no start up on the second test (hi-lo), that second test was completely unexpected. A few minutes later after the first test, this siren went off in hi-lo during my father was taking the camera down. The camera started recording around 10 seconds after this siren started up again. I was told by the county the second activation was part of the test.
This siren hasn't ran in attack in 2 years. This siren is normally tested every Saturday at 12:00 PM ET in 3 minute of hi-lo (fire signal). The attack signal ("take cover") is normally tested on every SC statewide tornado drill. This siren is a 3 phase model (1003A). This siren is part of the Newberry County siren system. This siren is one of the famous Thunderbolt 1003s on KZfaq. This siren is located in Silverstreet, South Carolina at Silverstreet Fire Department and EMS station off of Main Street (34).

Thanks for the video in listening to the Thunderbolt (my favorite siren of all time) from a distance. This is a great recording showing just how powerful of a sound carrier these sirens were. I am old enough to remember that if you heard those sirens take off in 'attack mode' as it is done here, you knew the buttons had been pushed and we were all going to glow in the dark. We were in fear of that happening especially back in the Cuba missile crisis. People were building underground shelters, etc. Was a bad time! Thanks again!

Those Thunderbolts were awesome sirens, but my top favorite among the vintage Federal Signal sirens is still the 3T22 dual-tone model. That's what one of my previous residences had - in Rison, Arkansas - back when I lived there from the late '70s thru early 1989.
