ACA Allertor - Batavia, OH 8/7/2019

The video quality isn't great (filmed through a windshield, camera was balanced on my dashboard with my wallet under it). I originally intended to go see a Thunderbolt in Middleboro, but of course Warren County had changed their test schedule only a week before! Now they test their sirens every first Friday at noon, so I missed my chance for the month. Oh well. (EDIT: Warren County, OH didn't change their test schedule. I read an article that said Warren County, KY changed their schedule and mistook it for Warren County, OH. The Thunderbolt probably did test that day, but I'm still glad I saw this one.)

I went out to see this siren a few weeks before. I wasn't entirely sure if it was still active. It turns out it's not only active, but very healthy! It sounds great and nothing went wrong during this test.

This thing is seriously loud. I was in the parking lot of the Duke Energy place across the street (great viewing point) and it was still uncomfortably loud.

If you get a chance, go see this siren. It tests every month, first Wednesday at noon. It's the only Allertor I know of in the area. These are pretty rare so it's definitely worth seeing even if it's not a test day.
