Type: Whelen WPS-2904
Signal: Wail and Voice (Severe Thunderstorm Warning)
Location: 464 University Drive, Richmond, Madison County, KY (Moore Building)
Tropical Storm Gordon made landfall in the Gulf of Mexico on September 4th, 2018. It meandered it's 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 wasn't super loud inside, but there weren't any windows open. Definitely a cool experience nonetheless! Enjoy!
