Huntingburg, Indiana: Tornado Siren System Recording Video Clips. Duration : 3.37 Mins.


*Originally recorded June 1ST, 2012 This is a monthly test of all emergency siren systems in Dubois County, Indiana. Tests are usually conducted the first day of each month at 4:00 EST (3:00 CST), weather permitting. With the exclusion of Jasper and and the rest of Dubois County, sirens in Huntingburg are on a different system. The newer sirens have two-way radio controls and the older ones are activated via telephone relay. Although the older sirens have been "replaced", they are still used for backup purposes in case the newer system fails. If you listen carefully you can hear four sirens. The first siren to activate was the 2001-SRN located near the railroad. You can also faintly hear the 2001-SRN located near OFS Furniture. The next few sirens you hear activate next are the sirens on the old telephone relay system. The STH-10A comes in very clear in this recording. The Model 7 located by the utilities office can also be heard but faintly. A big thanks goes to my mom who filmed this while I was out recording a siren in Ireland. People actually thought there was a tornado warning due to the gusty winds and overcast skies that occurred that day.

Federal Signal 2001-SRN, Full Alert: Huntingburg, Indiana (Dubois Co. Tornado Siren Test, HD) Video Clips. Duration : 4.35 Mins.


This is a monthly test of the Dubois County Emergency Siren System. Tests are usually conducted the first day of each month at 4:00 EST, weather permitting. The background sirens (Model 7 & STH-10s) preform two minutes of attack while this siren and other 2001s in Huntingburg manage to stay on for another minute while sounding a steady, alert signal. This particular siren is located on N. Geiger St. There are also several older, Federal Signal sirens in the proximity that can also be heard. Although the 2001 sirens have replaced the older sirens, the older sirens are to be continually used as a backup in case the 2001 system fails. I would recommend using headphones to listen for the background sirens. This is one of several 2001 sirens in Dubois County which consists of mostly 2001-SRNs. However, this -SRN is very unusually high pitched. I am not sure why the pitch is so high but I do know all of Huntingburg's 2001-SRNs sound like this. Also if you go to 2:17 you can see that the rotator starts to "hang-up" and the siren sits still for a second.
