So I met up with my good friend Sirens and Railroads of Oklahoma at this 435hz Vortex in SE Oklahoma City. It went off at 12:00 on the dot.
Being familiar around OKC, I was pretty surprised about how the siren activated only three seconds after the clock striked noon.
This siren is located beside the road that divides Cleveland County from Oklahoma County. Our cameras were set up in Cleveland County, while the siren was in Oklahoma County. So I can say that I walked (ran) across a county line before. 👍🏻 Also, this was my first Vortex, and it was very punchy!
At 12:00:03 PM, the city of Oklahoma City conducted a weekly test of their outdoor warning sirens on Saturday, October 17, 2020. The test consisted of a 3 minute Alert and was pretty loud!

I apologize for the wind, Oklahoma has been very windy recently!

[@AndrewWT5020]

When is Oklahoma not windy? Lmao. Was this louder than the 5020B?

[@brodiessirenproductions]

@@AndrewWT5020 Yes it was

[@AndrewWT5020]

@@brodiessirenproductions That’s good. I don’t have a clue when I even asked that.

The Thunderbolt is located on Lawton Ave and NW 12th St in Moore, Oklahoma.

[@brodiessirenproductions]

Yep I have tried to record that one. But Moore didn’t test due to several dark clouds in the surrounding area.

[@brodiessirenproductions]

If you listen closely, you can hear a couple of Moore’s 508s, Modulators, and maybe one Thunderbolt.

[@sirensofthesouthwest6788]

very yes

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Gotta love their polling! Great video

[@novawarningsirens]

Nice video!

[@brodiessirenproductions]

My Baofeng UV-5R Plus scanner was doing DTMF tones constantly for around 25 minutes straight!

[@loganmshelts]

OKC actually has around 7 zones if I remember correctly. An all call (city wide) is used for the test.

[@brodiessirenproductions]

Oh I didn’t know that! I just heard that from my friend Jakob (also a siren enthusiast) that lives in Moore. But no joke, my scanner went off for 25 minutes doing DTMF! Lol

[@CoSirenCars]

Nice, I always loved the dual wind ups!

[@brodiessirenproductions]

Yeah me too!

[@zachj9359]

The most I’ve seen them do was a quadruple activation resulting in 4 windups and that was for the 2013 Moore tornado.

[@seanchristopherward8205]

I can hear a Thunderbolt a lot in the video.

[@Alex-fz3rv]
