    This is purely a classic. I watched this ALL the time in 2016 back when I was 9-10. I absolutely love this video and it’s honestly better than most siren videos nowadays. Thank you for making this video. I’ve always loved it and I’ll never stop loving this.

    Yes, in August of 2010 a morning thunderstorm with 80 mph winds knocked over the old t-bolt as well as causing moderate damage across the city and county. Within a couple of weeks, this one was up and working.

  • @Fents_Post_Productions

    The Panasonic HDC-TM 700 uses 3-1/4" CMOS sensors. The clip was shot at 1920x1080,60p which is the highest resolution for the unit. Though not as clear as CCD sensors, it produces near-broadcast quality pictures. Panasonic stopped producing this model after a year, but similar models are available.
    Glad you appreciate the production values!

    Yes, as flat as central Kansas is and as calm as the day was, sound travels great distances. You are hearing many sirens being tested at once. This was the last one to blow. It replaced a Thunderbolt 100T which was blown down in 80 mph winds from a high precipitation supercell on August 10, 2009.
    Good ears!

    Thanks, yes the thing was WAY louder than anticipated, producing distortion even with a 9 db pad on the stereo mic input. Some audio peak reduction was needed to even out the track for posting, and you will notice that the video was shot in two days. The usual test day having been cancelled due to an approaching blizzard which left 11 inches of snow over the following 24 hours. Temperatures in the 60's melted most of it by the next Monday. We may have a busy storm season in Kansas! Stay tuned...

    Today is the ten-year anniversary of this civil defense siren video, now at 769,010 views! It starts on the first day I'd planned to film it and all of the sirens are heard in the distance. This one did not work that day. I came back the next month and that's where the fade to this siren sounding comes in. This machine was removed a couple of years ago as all of the siren system was changed. At the time I shot it, I had no idea that there were so many "siren fans" out there! People who know which machines are which and the details of construction. But, they - you all - found this video in large numbers and some even look back on it with fond childhood memories.
    So thanks, be civil, but ready for defense and keep an eye on the sky. - RF
