Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000T in ATTACK mode

Thunderbolt 1000T on Anderson (Wilson) school ground in Wichita KS - horn rotation set at 2 RPM. Originally intended to signal "the end of the world as we know it" from a Soviet nuclear missile launch during the cold war era, its mission now is to warn of a tornado in the area. Although the siren is Civil Defense yellow, I decided to tweak the video a bit by aging and going grayscale to give it a more ominous atomic age film look.
In elementary school when we would have an air raid drill, all the students would go to the school hallways and the teachers instructed us how to sit against the wall, bend over and put our heads between our legs with our hands on our heads. What they didn't tell us was that if this had been an actual attack, this served the purpose of kissing our butts goodbye.
The T-bolt in attack mode sounds eerie and considering it's original purpose it's fitting. Those too young to remember or didn't learn about it in school should Google "Cuban missile crisis" and see that those cold war years were some scary times indeed.
