"tornado sirens go off" -wow this seems like a decent time to go drive around

0:15 - 0:20 that moment when they harmonize and sound beautiful

People always talk about the alternate wail (Chicago sirens) being scary. Now THIS is scary. The echoeing and sound of multiple sirens sends chills straight down my spine.

T-128s are awesome sounding and are probably the best rotational siren (other than the T-135 AC/DC) on the market

That siren will scare the tornado away

There is nothing creepier than hearing those sirens.....and the wind is dead calm!!!

This seems like a pretty genius warning system. I've never experienced a tornado in my life but if I moved to the US and someone mentioned what to do in a tornado, I would instantly know what that haunting siren meant

Good to see a mix of railfanning and tornadoes, my two hobbies. I was born in Missouri, and have always been fascinated by the almost freight train like roar of tornadoes.

It sounds like a horror movie trailer

Why did I think the sirens were creepy music lmao

McDonald's: I'm lovin it Tornado: I'm twistin it

Those sirens. Jesus Christ. I’ve never heard anything like it. I understand camera mics pick up siren sounds differently than the human ear, but even in a video I’ve never heard a tornado siren sound more haunting.

People at the McDonald's drive thru are like screw the tornado I want my Big Mac

For those wondering: The sirens sound like a horror movie because they're rotating so they constantly get louder and quieter from the perspective of the cameraman

Me: Driving on two wheels, running stop signs, constantly checking rear view to ensure 🌪 isn't creeping up behind me. Tommy: Obey speed limits, traffic signs and use that turn signal for safety. Kudos for keeping cool and safe!

Morris is around 50 miles from Chicago.....I remember this night well, I was driving in the southwest suburbs of Chicago and the lightning was so continuous it just lit up the sky, almost didn't need headlights to see, that's how powerful it was. Also 65 degrees - in Chicago - in February !!!!!

These people are like screw this I want my frappe

When I grow up when we have a tornado siren I won't get in the car and drive around the town like him

We need sirens that scare tornados away

TORNADO TIPS Step 1: Get me a Big Mac...

Silent Hill looks promising

I’d pay to be there during that. I love storms. I can imagine the; temperature, humidity, wind, precipitation, and sky color/ambience. To many people this seems freighting, I find it a beautiful beast.

Pennsylvania is known for having most of these ASC T-128, and they are EXTREMELY loud. The one down near Greensbury has a sound of about 204, which is just enough to kill you.

OUTSTANDING VIDEO, Tommy!!!! OMG, it's so REFRESHING to learn of other people who have the same funky interests I have!!! I've always had an interest in tornado sirens! I'm originally from Massachusetts where tornado sirens were unnecessary, but I whenever I heard the siren test every Wednesday at 1PM while visiting my maternal relatives in Minneapolis, my fascination and curiosity piqued. I remember when I caught my first sight of a tornado siren several years ago. The Minnesota State Fair had been going on at this time when all the food and treats at the Fair were being sold "on a stick." I was walking with a friend through Augsburg Park in Richfield, MN and came across this aqua-colored contraption perched on a tall post. I learned later it was an Allertor tornado siren, but at that time I didn't know what it was. I asked my friend who was walking with me what the aqua contraption was, and before she could answer, a little kid who sitting with his friends on a close-by bench and heard my question promptly answered it: "That's poopoo on a stick!!" I've referred to tornado sirens as "poopoo on a stick" ever since!!

0:10Who else loving this siren? It gives me chills, its scary tho

For a minute I thought it was music but it's the siren😑

I love the harmonizing

Them sirens are so calm and relaxing to my mind every one thinks I'm weird and crazy it's just a soothing sound v

The sirens were so eerie😳😳I would be more scared of that.

Tornado siren: *WEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOO* People in mcdonalds drive thru: *fucking tornado! Really?!? Gimme my god damn Big Mac already!*

the 128 siren ambiance sounds so creepy, i love it

Love the sound of the sirens, but I also love storms…….music to my ears.

And there's still people in the McDonalds Drive-Thru -_-

I like how sirens are blaring, yet people at mcdonalds are in the drive-thru.

Imagine living by that siren and it just blasts your ears out.

What a tornado warning you might get blown away

Holy shit this is so creepy it looked like a scene straight out of a apocalypse movie when you stood outside and the street was completely empty with the siren going off in the background

Side note: Why does your sirens sound like a creepy horror movie??? Mines don't sound like that! Also, glad you're okay!

0:02 ASC T-128 Siren sound

Imagine hearing that at 3 AM😰😱

When I heard a tornado siren I thought it was McDonalds siren for they need more customers

Idk what's scarier, the siren in this video or the ones in Chicago...

That is the creepiest siren noise I ever heard...

Like this tornado warning and siren video. Reminds me of the low pitched siren sound used in the movie Twister with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. Don't know what model of siren was used for that siren audio, but I do know that it was a "WAIL TONE." If the sirens in this video were on wail instead of the "STEADY TONE," they would sound like the one in the TWISTER movie drive in scene. These sirens are TEMPEST 128 sirens by American Signal Corporation, one of my favorites of newly manufactured sirens.

I miss our old tornado sirens. We have ones now that actually play a voice when they're testing them.

Eghghh...the sirens creep me out. Among the scariest sounds I've ever heard. We when had a tornado warning (almost crapped my pants) we had only a fire whistle, I probably would have cried if I actually heard a siren like that. Very unsettling.

Started watching this video with the sun beating down on me, ended it with the sky gray and getting darker and the smell of rain heavy in the air, the cool breeze getting stronger, and then a Tornado went past me down the highway. Coincidence? Yes, but still that was the eeriestly timed tour bus I've ever seen

Those new sirens are nice .. yet, I still miss the old Thunderbolt 1003. Excellent video.

When there is a tornado warning and you hear the siren go off, the last thing I'm thinking about is going outside.

they went off in Kendall too, scared the shit out of me.

The chills from this us so words can't explain I love this video

I live in the Midwest and I hear the sirens more than I want to. Back in 2016 our County made history (Howard county, Kokomo Indiana) we had over 4 confirmed tornado touchdowns in our county!! One being a F3. The sirens started to boare so I went outside to look at the weather and the sky had that ominous green color to it, which I knew that we were in trouble. The weather started getting nasty. I took shelter and then all of the sudden it got dead silent!!! That's when the Tornado hit less than 2 miles from where I live. After that I went outside and the clouds were really weird and nothing I have ever seen in all of the years I have lived in Indiana which is about 50 years!!

I live in rockford and our tornado sirens went off and ours was since 2011

sounds like you need to watch out for Pyramid Head

As the vid starts I'm not sure if those sirens are trying to warn me or entrance me. it's rather soothing tbh.

Wow, that's a nice S-10 @ 3:40 ... I have a metallic red one one. Thanks for posting.

tornado warning?! let's go outside and drive around and film!

So beautiful houses.. I wish I had one in Germany..

Gotta love the sound of the asc t128

I like the sounds of that siren sounds harmonic at times

3:25 That american signal t128 seems to be saying *GO SOMEWHERE ELSE STORM YOU'RE DRUNK!!!!!!!*

I must say that you've got some fine looking old homes where you live.

I just love how they sounded that much and as soon as you arrived it stopped Edit: glad they went off again!

I remember that day.. I was outside of Washburn, IL but didn’t know a tornado was touching down on the edge of town and I was in the path of it. So terrifying.

If this happened in Oklahoma, everyone would probably be like "Just another day in Oklahoma"

Thank you so much for great footage! here in the UK we thankfully don't get this experience.

Storm: I fear no siren but that thing... *ASC goes off* Storm: It scares me

Now this is content! Epic video!

If I heard the sirens, I would not be the fool who gets in the car and drives around.

Watching this as someone who has been through three different kinds of disasters but never a tornado (we don't have them). Interesting to see how other people handle it.

I love the video! It's really awesome to see. I love how your filming it while driving around. It's so cool to see this! I've never seen a tornado in my life but we had severe thunderstorm watches and warnings, and 1 tornado warning. I love the way you filmed this video 😊

The timbre of those three, four sirens, reminded me of the organ chords in the *_Silenced Cathedral._* That is a very dated and obscure reference, but for those who know the names *_Raziel and Kain,_* should also know the reference. ... That one siren as you were standing there getting petrol was a solid C#.

Those sirens sounds beautiful

A tornado in Illinois in February I feel like is very rare, as you’re pretty far north and it still being winter... that must’ve been a freak storm

giant dark clouds are so ominous and i love it

At the beginning of the video the, Siren ambiance is amazing! Great vid!

That is pretty freaky, but fascinating at the same time. How do you like that? A tornado in February. I live in Wheaton, but I've been down to Morris and Marseilles plenty of times recently with my uncle. Last I was out there was maybe a month after this. My Uncle and I were discussing on the ride out there all the storms these towns got on this day. A couple properties near the corner of N 30th Road and E 2575th Road on the outskirts of Marseilles, absolutely destroyed. There was some kind of a tall antenna tower right at that corner that was twisted up and fell on the road that day, from the pictures I saw. The farm across from that had the house torn apart, semi trailers completely overturned, and other bad, bad damage. Worst damage I've ever seen in person, and I'm sure Ottawa got hit ten times worse.

3:09 That scene is just breath taking. The color of the sky, the sound of the sirens. Even the cars and people Going about their day just makes it more eerie and exciting. What an experience.

Love those T-128s in the background.

Glad one of the trainspotting fam decided to take a tornado vid. Stay safe partner. With peace, from Britain

why do people find the sound haunting? sounds very nice

2:23 ASC T128

first time I saw this video I though this was from 2015 😂 although now I was wrong, still feels nostalgic and that storm looks like a derecho for some reason (probably because of the constant lightning) nice video and hope you were ok!

Such angelic sounds

Those Tornadoes Sirens Are So Scary!

I kept looking at McDonald's instead of the clouds lol felt hungry 😋

That's so cool that they spin around like that. They got rid of our military sirens in SoCal long ago. They used to do siren tests once a month.

When it’s completely still like that, you know something bad is going to happen somewhere.

It’s so creepy hearing the creepy sirens in the distance knowing that there’s a tornado in the county

THATS THE ONE I HEARD ITS SO CREEPY

0:28 here it goes the lightning

The sky looks wicked. I live in Minnesota. I've been in 3 Tornadoes. Thunder was loud. Sky was pea green. Silent. Calm before danger. And sounds like a train when close. I was lucky in one . Done nothing to the house. 🌪️🌪️🌪️

I would get back inside too

That sound is so eerie but it's also very beautiful. I would have probably driven to the siren just to see it working haha also tornados fascinate me. Not the smartest thing but I don't live where tornados come so I don't have much fear for them. Which I definitely should...

The Siren is called the ASC T-128

this is beautiful

Very exciting !!!!! Scary. Get to the basement!!!!!

Guy : hey dood can I have 2 numba 9's, large extra dip, 6 big macs, large fry, 3 cookies wit- Employee : SIR.. Theres a tornado right behind us... a- Guy: wlell that's kewl and all but can I hav my food pls? Employee : DUDE... WE GOTTA MOV..- Guy : can I get my meal?! Employee : I'm sorry, I need to do this.. BYE! Guy: DUDEI WAS GONA GET MY FOODDDDDDD!!!!!!

No leaves on the trees, winter season. Headlights on, that time of year means probably the 5pm siren test. Both days, same time of day. Pretty easy to figure out.

Impending dark sky and storm, scary, creepy Silent Hill siren, very scary, folks getting their Mac D's....wtf?!? Love it!
