Oldest Thunderbolt siren in Sedgwick County restored

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

Old Thunderbolts like that are the only Thunderbolts I really like, mainly because of the history. Glad to see them get restored, but at the same time, the county has to be careful as they don’t have battery backup and are high maintenance

One of my friends lives in that town or near it, he saw this thing test, I am so happy for him! Thanks for sharing this!

[@Josh-le6lu]

Well that kicks ass!

[@itz_coaltonnn]

Honestly, I’m surprised they know it’s called a “Thunderbolt” usually I hear news anchors call them “old sirens”

[@kansasclocksandsirens]

Yeah. Back when they were "Upgrading" their system, they referred to them as "Yellow Tornado sirens"

[@ThunderboltOverkill]

So happy to see this :)

All mechanical siren, not electronic, very distinctive sounding. Probably cost effective to restore them too. Can't we hear a toot?
