Type: Federal Signal Model 2
Signal: Alert
Location: 6415 Railroad Avenue, Crestwood, Oldham County, KY
Michael, August, Gary, and I met up with Brandon Mendel at this Model 2 in Crestwood, KY before the Louisville test. With somewhat skeptical thoughts towards its going off, we were all pleasantly surprised when this thing wound up. Wasn't too loud, especially with the hustle and bustle of "downtown" Crestwood, but it certainly made itself known. Enjoy!
Oldham County sirens are tested on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 AM ET.

Tropical Storm Gordon made landfall in the Gulf of Mexico on September 4th, 2018. It meandered its way through the Mississippi River Valley, and eventually traversed east through the Ohio River Valley as a tropical depression before becoming a remnant low. On September 8th, off of the low, numerous severe storms bringing severe wind, flash flooding, and two EF-0 tornadoes, in central Kentucky and southern Indiana. One of these severe storms passed through Madison County, prompting a severe thunderstorm warning, resulting in this very siren activation. As soon as I learned of the approaching weather, I situated myself on the top floor of the library in the quiet study zone, allowing me to get this eye level shot of the siren. It wasnt super loud inside, but there werent any windows open. Definitely a cool experience nonetheless! Enjoy!")
