Whelen Vortex R4, Full Attack/Wail: Mitchell, Indiana (Lawrence Co. Tornado Siren Test, HD)
*Originally Recorded on 3/15/2013, I would have gotten it up earlier but my first upload looked like a compressed pile of crap, at least from my computer it did. This is a test of Mitchell, Indiana's Outdoor Siren System. Tests are conducted every Friday at 12:30. They have a Sterling M-5 and at least one Whelen Vortex. They may have another Vortex because I heard what sounded like one wind-up after this one did. Unfortunately, I couldn't hear the Sterling from this far away. I called the Mitchell City Police before the test as it was running kinda late. After I hung up, the siren went off. It sounded for a full, three minutes which was unexpected. This siren is located on Sheeks Drive by some railroad tracks. Come to think of it, there are a lot of railroad tracks in Mitchell, but I haven't seen or heard a single train. There was also a bunch of construction workers working on someone's roof nearby. Watching their reaction when this siren went off was priceless...wish I had another camera (with zoom) to catch that. Up close, this Vortex put some insane echos. I might upload that video from my phone. *I may be recording either a Whelen 2809 doing Hi-lo in Columbus, IN, or a Whelen 3016 (doing wail?) in Seymour during the annual tornado drill next week. I haven't decided yet, your suggestions definitely are welcome.
