Notes: So for one thing, I met up with loudThunderbolt1003 (Donald) and my friend Alex to see this siren, it was acutally a 50/50 chance it would even go off! Compared to the previous times I've heard this siren, it would frequently fail. I was so happy that this one time it would actually sound. I was although a little dissapointed the last voice activation didn't sound, especially when it was at the perfect angle with the camera. Donald used his Iphone to record this, and I recorded the ground level shot with my Motorola. Unfortunately, this video does not include ambience as we had to trim the video down to 8 minutes because of video rendering issues when uploaded. Another funny point is the fact that not even 5 minutes before the test was to begin, a police officer questioned us. They didn't mind, apparently standing next to the water tower can insight danger as they don't "want tresspassers to damage the water tower". I found that odd, but the experience was definently still enjoyable.
