SC Statewide Tornado Drill: Thunderbolt 1003, Attack & Hi-Lo - Silverstreet, SC 3/9/16

I do not make any money from my videos I post on my YouTube channel. Skip to 1:40 for the activation. **NEW UPDATE 07/30/2024: The Silverstreet 1003 had went through refurbishment process, it was just finished. But unfortunately, this siren still hasn't been reinstalled and there is currently no estimated date for this siren to be reinstalled. It was originally anticipated to be reinstalled back spring 2024. Previous update from 2023: This siren was removed and was taken to the repair shop for repairs to the siren. The chopper motor is dead. County plans to reinstall this siren by spring 2024. I repeat, this siren will be reinstalled next year. Distance recording of this in attack and hi-lo:    • Distance Recording: Thunderbolt 1003,...   Shot on March 9, 2016. This is a video of this siren sounding 3 minute attack ("take cover") and 3 minute hi-lo (fire signal) for the 2016 South Carolina statewide tornado drill at 9:00am ET. I apologize for the scanner signal issue. I had trouble getting the signal. I know there's no start up (and sorry for the video shakiness) on the second test (hi-lo), that second test was completely unexpected. A few minutes later after the first test, this siren went off in hi-lo during I was taking down the cameras. The camera started recording around 10 seconds after this siren started up again. At first I thought this siren's going off for the fire call, but I was told by the county it was part of the test. This siren hasn't ran in attack in 2 years. The attack signal was so awesome to my ears! This siren is normally tested every Saturday at 12:00 PM ET in 3 minute of hi-lo (fire signal). The attack signal ("take cover") is normally tested on every SC statewide tornado drill. This siren is a 3 phase model (1003A). This siren is part of the Newberry County siren system. This siren is one of the famous Thunderbolt 1003s on YouTube. This siren is located in Silverstreet, South Carolina at Silverstreet Fire Department and EMS station off of Main Street (34).
