Farmers Branch TX: Whelen Vortex, DSA, & FS 2001 3 Minute OWS Test Ambience Full Alert (August 2023)

This is the August 2023 monthly test of the outdoor warning siren system. Every month (assuming the skies are clear and weather permitting) in Farmers Branch, the outdoor warning sirens in the city will be activated for 3 minutes at 1 PM local time. Today, I mightve been able to hear Addison, Farmers Branch, and Carrollton all in one. I caught the test 1 year ago, however I seemed to have only heard Farmers Branch. Hope you enjoyed!

I think that’s awesome they put the thundermod tone on these. It’s more proper imo as the Vortex/4004’s are closer to thunderbolts than modulators

Hey DFW Storms & Sirens That Whelen Vortex R4 Sounds Like Federal Signal 3T22 But I Enjoying Hearing👂Federal Signal DSA 6

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Sounds like a system of 500s and Thunderbolts ngl

[@dfwstormsandsirens]

Yeah but they're all Whelen Vortex R4s. Obviously they sound like that because Goddard Enterprises installed UV and ThunderMod onto them
