FS Thunderbolt 1000AT | 1 Min. Alert + Ambiance | Wichita, Kansas | 11/10/25

At 11:59:49 on Monday, November 10th, 2025 Sedgwick County conducted a weekly test of their Outdoor Warning Sirens which consisted of a 1 minute Alert.

Before heading back to Arkansas I decided to take a long “detour” to this Thunderbolt in a not so great area of town because I thought it would be cool to record a low pitched 1000T. Ideally I would’ve recorded the one at Greenwich & Waterman but its rotator has been struggling for a while now so I didn’t want to go to it in case the rotator completely died
