At 12:00 PM, The City of McKinney Texas conducted a monthly test of their outdoor warning sirens on Saturday, June 6th, 2020. The test consisted of a Wail (Best Possible Protection) that lasted about 2 minutes.
I met up with Owen Sanders, Brady, Brodie's SirenProductions, WhammyP-50, AdamsSiren Adventures, Roboprod Gaming, GavinTheFireAlarmGuy and NTX Sirenvators.
Here's their videos:

This siren is located at the Revival City Church. McKinney Tests on the first Saturday of the month at 12:00 PM, the test runs for about 2 minutes.
It was very nice to have a 7 person meetup. I have never personally met up with this many people at a siren.
Yes I am aware of the people running up to the siren at 0:25.

@@personperson2319how loud was this 4008 from where you were at? because I went to record this one a few months ago I was ~530 ft from it to hear siren #15 when it was a little quiet when it face away but loud when it face towards me and the voice sounded muffled since it faced away and it made me think several speaker drivers are blown

[@ianssirenproductions]

I’m going to see a dual tone alertronic 6000r in rolling meadows

Wow that’s a weird tone. It’s like a strange wail with a phaser. I didn’t know anywhere in North America used it.

[@Dubby522]

This has been a test of the emergency warning system, this was only a test.
Esta ha sido una prueba del sistema de alerta de emergencia, esto fue solo una prueba.
