Type: Whelen WPS-2000R
Signal: Wail
Location: 401 City Park Drive, Chetek, Barron County, WI (City of Chetek Dog Park)
This was the second siren we recorded with Jacob and Josh.
We absolutely had to film this 2000R since we had the chance, and it was well worth it as it is GONE. This thing was making all kinds of funky noises and was not too loud, but certainly a cool experience. Thank you to Jacob for letting me borrow his audio. Enjoy!
(yes I am calling it a "WPS" on a technicality since it has had a FPU)
Barron County sirens are tested on the first Monday of each month at 11AM CT, April through October.
Originally recorded 6/7/21.

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!")
