Federal Signal 2T22B, Full Alert: Vincennes, Indiana (Knox Co. Tornado Siren Test, HD) Video Clips. Duration : 4.53 Mins.
This is a test of the Knox County Outdoor Siren System. Sirens are normally tested on Saturdays between 11:00-12:00 EST if the weather cooperates. Today the sirens were set to sound at 11:30. This particular siren is located on top of Tecumseh-Harrison Elementary School. A big thanks goes to the Knox Co. EMA director whom I asked If he could set them off today. Personally, this was the first time I have ever heard a 2T22 in person, yet alone a single phase 2T22. It sounded very musical and even was loud enough to vibrate the ground for a FULL three minute blast. Most of Vincennes older sirens are either mounted on a very low roof or pole. They are not the most common type of siren to find in Southern Indiana which contains mostly newer Federal Signal and Sentry sirens. I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to make it to the test today. We drove very fast to be able to make it. Once I got out of the car I could hear a nearby Sentry 3V8 for a few seconds before winding down. I thought I already missed the test. I still proceeded to have the camera record a short clip of the siren sitting still. When I was about to turn the camera off the siren sounded. Knox Co. Siren Map (Unfinished) g.co
