Houston County Siren #20 - Whelen WPS-2909 Tube. Duration : 2.53 Mins.
Monthly test of the countywide outdoor warning siren system, consisting of 33 of these Whelen WPS-2909 units, and one older Federal Signal 2-240 (privately-owned). This is unit #20 in the system, located near Veterans High School on Old Perry Road in Kathleen. I was about 1120ft north of the siren, and there were ~15mph south winds present (blowing toward the siren from my location), which made the siren seem really quiet. Another interesting note: I was able to hear my Federal Signal Model 5 (coming from my house) during the alert portion of the county system, which was about 2 miles due west from where I was. The siren is in my garage facing east, which had the door open at the time, and it was absolutely amazing I was able to hear it! Unfortunately due to the wind, the camera couldn't quite pick it up.
