Whelen Vortex R4 Siren Test - Alert & Attack - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Date: 12/6/23
Location: 4th St & 5th Ave, Minneapolis, MN
Temp: 40°F
Signal: 1 minute alert, 1 minute attack
Units Heard:
Vortex R4 (main unit) - 175 feet
Several other Minneapolis & Golden Valley sirens within a ~5 mi radius

First off, I want to apologize for my mic having an absolute stroke whenever the siren faces the camera. This was very loud and we we were within 200 feet at eye level, and I stupidly forgot to set the gain down before the test. Anyways, this test was AWESOME. This was a last minute target that Sam and I chose earlier today after the St. Croix test and it was so worth it!! Tons of sick echoes in both alert and attack on top of it being loud as all hell. Thanks for watching, and enjoy!

Hennepin County tests their siren system on the first Wednesday of every month at 1 PM.
