Chicago Tornado Warning in the Loop (8/4/2008)

[@LiveLaughLovee131]

I love that alternate wail! So creepy but it will get your attention for sure!

wow the sirens are just awesome/ im getting like chills right now. awesome video

The tornado siren is more scary than the tornado 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@EARTrains95]

Dominique Pilon I know I have received many apologies from the owner of the city and I will not have any kind Regards for the owner of the city that he has received from everyone in Chicago that s hack might be the same people that did it in dallis for a great app that tells you if a warning is in the city owner recived 8467 calls and 2007 messages

Um ok

[@dylanporter7673]

It’s actually not

[@dylanporter7673]

Not knowing where a tornado is terrifying it could Be right behind you

[@nicolelawless3199]

Dominique Pilon God Germans are coming Me

[@ZachKettell]

The reason you didn't see the tornado is because a warning means that one will most defiantly happen however they don't always happen in a Warning situation! They cannot tell if a tornado is on the ground from a radar but they can see a heavy amount of rotation which is enough to issue a warning! But just because they do not always happen during a warning doesn't make it any less dangerous because a watch means their a possibility and warning means a tornado touchdown could be eminent so always take shelter if a tornado warning is issued

[@indigodragon0613]

Creature Claw Isn't the rule that a tornado has to be reported in order to warrant sirens? That's how it is in Michigan.

[@alyssaschannel699]

Zach Kettell one time I had a tornado warning the tornado wasn’t in the ground but it was some where but then they canceled it and this happened in Wisconsin

[@russellhoude5744]

@@indigodragon0613 Tornado warnings can be visually confirmed touchdowns by spotters or radar indicated. I've sat though a lot of tornado warnings and I like to listen to the NOAA voice read them off

[@Teddybear71]

I lived in southwestern Minnesota for the first 11 years of my life, and the sound of those tornado sirens still stands as the scariest, most creepy sound in the world for me!

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

Nice combo! You could here both the 2001s in Fast Wail AND the Modulator 6024s in Alternate Wail

[@thedogememesproductions6354]

Elizabeth_958. or EOWS 612

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

Elvis Ramos The Lamp collector nope, Chicago only has Mods, 2001s, and a DSA. No EOWS 612s

[@thedogememesproductions6354]

Elizabeth_958. nvm

[@growingup15]

WOW!! I never heard sirens like that before sounds really scary dude. :) awsome video

[@benjaminbrown3939]

This is the earliest known footage of Chicago's Modulators running Alternate Wail.

[@Robert0_87]

I never thought someone would comment on such an old video

[@neptuneWX]

Although this is one of the earliest, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWmkaKqAp81jbMUsi=7MagqQ2xRNkwDeGv is actually earlier since it recorded more of the siren, possibly immediately after it started going off.

[@neptuneWX]

Oh, and to add on, look at the distance of the lightning in this video to the one I linked. Much farther away, so this is one of the earliest.

[@eddy75471]

after years livin in the western suburbs I never seen a storm like that. I heard that the storm has the same amount of power as the Plainfield supercell which produced the strongest tornado in Illinois!

[@Ouranos94]

@pronintendogamer96 Chicago has Federal Signal 2001s and modulators. The modulators were the ones doing alternate wail.

[@pixelatedluisyt]

OH MY GOD THE COMBINATION OF ALTERNATE WAIL AND FAST WAIL MADE THE SIREN FAR SCARIER THAN A TORNADO

[@stephen_lamonica_bass_covers]

I was in Chicago that day for the first time for a conference and walking down Michigan Ave when the sky went from blue to yellow green in a matter of minutes. And then those sirens!!!! As an east coaster, that was my first ever tornado experience and it was wild! I had to duck into a hotel with huge floor to ceiling windows in the lobby and we were terrified when the sideways rain started coming through

[@mouseandryforever6848]

Best t storm on KZbin. This storm was amazing.

[@LittleLightUwU]

the mix of those two sirens really creeps me out, looks and sounds like the end of the world

[@Ouranos94]

It's quite interesting to hear a siren sound in alternate wail for a tornado warning.

[@matteng1997]

I was at Indiana Beach when this happened. The park closed about 15 minutes before the derecho slammed the area! We had to stop the van once we entered it due to near 100 MPH winds and funnels all around us! The lightning was so bad that we could see every funnel hanging down! There was at least 4 or 5!

[@parkman35]

This storm started up in extreme NW Illinois and just rolled SE right through the suburbs and into the city. There were over 8,000 lightning strikes associated with this monster...

[@Creepypasta666-r4i]

One of the sirens are dropping a beat

[@AleandroMusicOfficial]

We're having this Shit siren with this one 🔥

[@tobyqroblox2911]

Where is the Tornado sirens in Chicago???

[@ChicagoBandHead]

The storm that hit us that day in August 08 was just out of control. I had never heard thunder like that day. All turned out ok tho. But those sirens do sound like "its the end" lol

[@GodzillaKong4Dkdsefds]

That Alan like siren head

[@tylerkemp6850]

Do you guys still get torandoes in Chicago you guys should move to ca we don’t we don’t get any bad weather

[@dmaster92289]

I know, right? We're not even in tornado alley but do we get a lot of them in central and downstate IL.

[@Yoko_Grim]

Meanwhile up here in Wisconsin the worst we get is Tornado warnings and very few touch downs. We don't even get warnings much.

[@williamdenton6427]

It still is aloft , if it developed you would know it. The siren sounding is supposed to be a particullarly dangerous situation siren. It is supposed to be sounded like that to make people aware an actual damage producing tornado is on the ground entering the warned area,usually for radar indicated or weak tornado a straight tone is used.but under special surcumstances a tornado emergency frequency can be deployed to alter the tone to a rapid up and down mode. very few siren systems have this added capability but considering what i am seeing on the videos it is malfunctioning as the conditions are not severe enough to warrent its use or someone is jumping the gun using it.i have only heard it in actual proper usage 2 times and the last was in the south suburbs in June2008.during an actual tornado on the ground in Richton Park.

[@HotChocolate200]

What is that howlin siren called? It sounds awesome

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

@Dylan Johnson the “wail siren” is a FS2001DC

[@brewdog11]

@Droideka133 Does the emergency alternate tone mean that something very serious is happening?

[@sjake786]

Depends on the city

You can literally hear the original siren head sound in the background just listen closely

[@joannesproston678]

Over here in the UK had a very bad storm the other month where there was lightning bolts I saw four two struck the woods and two struck a house and that was a severe thunderstorm warning and I thought it was a tornado warning but no tornado formed and it was a tornado warning but I didn't see it form but when I move to there it will be worser than the storm here because there will be another tornado warning even longer than the one in August 2008 but instead of sheet lightning there will be lightning bolts and one tornado but not in the city remember that storm it was crazy and tornadic

[@Увожаймыеграбли]

Я придурок, потому-что Я отвечаю за 8-14лет!

No, the city of Chicago EMA set the modulators to sound Alternate Wail during a tornado warning.

[@luke65655]

i hated that day so much scared death dude but i t stopped that was the good thing

[@joannesproston678]

Yeah the sirens that were going off was the modulator 2008 and the SRN-2001

[@Elizabeth-ts4om]

Chicago doesn't have Modulator 2008s. Just 7 Modulator 6024s and 2 Modulator 3012s, as well as some 2001-SRNs

[@pieboy6000]

If you watch Chicago Tornado - Sirens!!!, you can here the same sirens. Anyway, Within 2 minutes the well lit city became a blacked out one. Scary shit dude. I'd love to see a tornado, during the day not the night!

There is 2 sirens beacuse if there was only one. Only part of the city would hear it and the other one no. So that’s why there is 2 sirens so the other one that you hear from far distance is for the other part of the city
