The man who kept the tornado siren sounding in Rudd

[@United_HVAC_and_Fans]

Rip that 3T22. Atleast it got to sound one last time before getting taken by the tornado. Pure dedication! It can still be used, but the horns are screwed.

[@bengalsfan04]

What's the difference between 2T22 and 3T22

[@Josh-le6lu]

​@@bengalsfan04 Although both visually identical, The 3t22 came equipped with special valves in the top and bottom portions of the siren. These valves or "solenoids" can reciprocate open and closed to produce an alternating high and low tone similar to an old British police siren. This is usually reserved for fire calls or prison escapes. The 3t22 can also create a "pulse" signal which involves both of the aforementioned valves opening and shutting at the same time to produce a sound similar to a Morse dash. IIRC, the pulse signal warned people to expect Fallout from an atomic attack; Although I could have gotten British and American civil air raid procedures mixed up in that last one. The method to differentiate from the two is to look for small yellow boxes neat the top and bottom of the siren, those are the solenoid motors which indicates a 3t22. (Okay. no more edits, I swear.)

[@bengalsfan04]

@@Josh-le6lu yeah it's hard to tell the difference

[@SirenRecordingsofIowa]

Although the motor could be bent along with he motor shaft, and internals could be damaged too

is no one gonna mention how he dealt with such deafening volumes of sound DIRECTLY BELOW it???

[@nascarsimracing1]

Ive been under a 2t22 (same as this siren but without solenoids) it really isn't that bad, in fact for me I enjoyed it.

[@somethinburnin]

This day in age, if the core of the siren is ok, someone could fabricate new body and horns

He deserves a valor medal for sure.

[@ToothlessThedragon9]

It's ok there is a lot of 3T22's and 2T22's everywhere

[@tornadochasingsiege]

Ppl if you wanna know why people are all sad about the siren is because they got discontinued and are becoming rare

[@Lou-yf1jo]

thx for context

[@traintraveler5413]

Despite the deplorable condition of the 3T22, there is a chance it could be refurbished, but the town will probably just get a new siren.

[@lilclacla1610]

I hate it when they replace it instead of fixing it especially when Iran a vintage siren

[@JJP_SirenProductions06]

I feel sorry for the 3T22 getting blown over, however it did warn people to take cover. That's all it matters. Edit: It's just a statement I guess. Edit 2: Guys, I'm just trying to say that the 3T22 was doing a good job protecting everyone, and that's what matters.

[@TNS17]

Interesting how you care more for a siren than people

Good on him! Siren should get new horns and cones, and should be put back up! Maybe a new control box, having one where you have to hold the button isn't the best.
