Whelen Vortex R4, Attack/Wail: Owensboro, Kentucky (Daviess Co. Tornado Siren Test) Video Clips. Duration : 2.57 Mins.
This is a weekly test of all 42 of Daviess County's Outdoor Warning Sirens. Sirens sound at 12 Noon CST (1:00 EST) and sound anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute followed by a silent test, weather permitting. The system is comprised of mostly fin-back Whelen Vortexes with several older sirens included. This fin-back Whelen Vortex R4 is located on Thruston Dermont Rd. nearby the Heritage Baptist Church. For some odd reason, the siren does not start rotating until the windup is complete compared to other Vortexes in Owensboro that start rotating immediately as the tone starts. I was extremely impressed how Daviess County, Kentucky, tested at EXACTLY at 12 Noon. I was watching the clock that was on my laptop and right as the second hand hit twelve, the siren kicked in...no delay. Also keep in mind that this was taken in Daviess County, Kentucky, NOT Daviess County, Indiana, which is also located within the Indiana, Kentucky, & Illinois tri-state region. Again, thank "TheWeatherGuys" for finding this good location and adding it to his map. I was not sure what to record today so I looked on one of his maps and found this good location.
