@@IowaSirensProductions well that explains it. if i knew that earlier i would have waited to record this thing. heck, i don't even know if my dad would even want to drive me there again, let alone during winter.
I'm pretty sure this thing in the extreme cold takes the place for the most drastic pitch fluctuations ever documented on a Thunderbolt (over 2 full octaves of range lmao). I'd still argue Charloe sounds worse overall, considering this one at least peaks at a reasonable pitch, but this one sounds more hilarious in my opinion.
Here's what happened the blower is okay the chopper is okay but the rotor is not okay because its rusty and busted and is overheating and also the rotation because the string has fell off or been cut
Oh yes, the poor thing is dying. It’s seen better days. Most definitely seen better days. This is for sure. it’s on its last l legs it’s time for new one That is sick my friend sick
I wish someone would sort this thunderbolts brushes and rotator already.. and anything else for that matter! it annoys me, as if you have sirens, you should look after them properly!! Awesome video though other than that
Unfortunately, they have no plans to fix this thing. They technically don't even need this one anymore, as the T-128 in town is meant to be its replacement, so they're just letting it run until it dies.
Let’s see how sick we can get and not function anywhere that’s a good one sick sick, sick thunderbolt, sick, sick, sick thunderbolt , siren. You’re sick. May you rest in peace bye
I feel so bad for this siren, I am not even sure how the people who own the place haven't restored it or gotten it checked! Even replaced!
The siren has already been indirectly replaced by a nearby T-128. This will be ran until dead.
@@supertechnocat8253 its already dead enough PUT IT OUT OF ITS MISERY I FEEL SO BAD FOR IT
Just like the Brodhead Thunderbolt 1003
i thought the same thing lmao
Haha yea
...This Siren has seen better days...
ITS NOT EVEN ROTATING!
Down shfiting
Rotator has not worked for years. This unit has already been indirectly replaced by another siren nearby.
3:26 the light showed up to the siren to take the soul away from it's misery
lol
I didnt see it lol
@Sirenrecordingsoflowa I also feel bad for this Thunderbolt 1003 siren.
this sounds more like a generator than a siren
when i recorded this just last sturday the pitch didn't fluctuate a whole lot for some reason like i thought it would
The cold really does it to this siren
@@IowaSirensProductions so the pitch fluctuates more in the cold?
@NorthCentralIowaSirens yeah, by ALOT
@@IowaSirensProductions well that explains it. if i knew that earlier i would have waited to record this thing. heck, i don't even know if my dad would even want to drive me there again, let alone during winter.
@NorthCentralIowaSirens I feel you
How the heck did it manage to get worse without being completly dead?
I don't know. I'm just surprised this thing is still clinging to life after all these years.
That siren needs to be taken down and restored to its former glory. I love those old FS Thunderbolts
R.I.P chopper motor
Isn’t every Saturday for 3 minutes a bit much
Silverstreet:
rip
Majority of the OKC metro:

Oh yeah for sure. The more cold outside it is, the more hilarious this thing sounds.
Replace the chopper, easy fix!
I wish that were the case, but it won't be repaired. :(
it would sound weird if it was in hi lo tho but I'm not gonna be surprised if i find out that the whole solenoid system or the rcm3 is busted or fried
I don't think the solenoids are even functional.
The Chopper is not repaired :(
Nope, and it won't be unfortunately.
Charloe, OH 2.0
Pretty much.
Here's what happened the blower is okay the chopper is okay but the rotor is not okay because its rusty and busted and is overheating and also the rotation because the string has fell off or been cut
The brushes are worn, and the rotator is nonfunctional.
Was that a Thunderbolt 1000 winding down after this one
No. It was the T-128 uptown.
1003 go brrrrrr
It sounds like N&W 611’s whistle.
Why the thunderbolt 1003 got died
JESUS WHAT HAPPEND ITS EVEN WORSE THAN A YEAR AGO!!
It just gets worse as the weeks progress.
@ yea true
They need to flip the switch off this thunderbolt and take it down this is not the way to live as a thunderbolt
RIP 🪦 rotation
RIP everything
Lmfao the thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I had fun making the thumbnail.
I think a couple of months later and it will die completely.
It might, I'm surprised it's still running.
That siren is way to old to be loud good it’s not what it should sound like
Pov me when i see s soren that is not working: you failure where is the asian slipper
Steven He fan?
Boutta be charloe deathbolt after it died
Pretty much.
My gosh! They need to replace that thing ASAP
The siren has already been indirectly replaced by a nearby T-128.
No because blower is dead and the chopper because the the make that noise so that why the bolt is diediny
The brushes are extremely worn on this thing. And the rotator is non-functional.
Oh yes, the poor thing is dying. It’s seen better days. Most definitely seen better days. This is for sure. it’s on its last l legs it’s time for new one That is sick my friend sick
It's already been indirectly replaced. But yeah, this thing has seen much better days.
Sound like bad brushed
Indeed. The brushes are just in terrible condition.

@@Thunderbolt1000Tfan that's kind of annoying in my view, I hope someone comes and saves this poor 1003!
You never know, perhaps someone might. Would suck to have another Thunderbolt sent to the scrap yard.
Let’s see how sick we can get and not function anywhere that’s a good one sick sick, sick thunderbolt, sick, sick, sick thunderbolt , siren. You’re sick. May you rest in peace bye
Still functioning like crap to this day that I know of.
Replace it with a 1000t
The siren has already been indirectly replaced by a nearby T-128.
Iirc this is ex independence
Correct
Full Alert? 😢 more like struggling Alert
Pretty much.
This is one of the worst Thunderbolt tests I’ve ever heard
Charole’s bolt is around 1% worse than this one.
At this point, both are pretty equal to each other.
