(Distant) Federal Signal 2001-130 | 1 Min. Alert | Pasadena, Texas

On Saturday, January 10, 2026, the city of Pasadena conducted the weekly test of their outdoor warning system. The test consisted of a 1 minute alert. I'm back, at least for the time being. Today, me and Jaden decided to hang out and wanted to attend a test at this 2001-130 at Holly Bay Park. The original plan was for him to go to Bay Area Park, and I would go to Turner Elementary. However, I agreed to hitch him a ride and get him a distant shot of this unit, so I decided to put my PowerShot to the test. A cold front pushed through overnight and caused an absolute motherload of wind to shake and push my camera around, but I was still satisfied with the footage and the quality.
