8-15-18 Florence, AL Siren Test Ambience (ACA Allertor, ACA P-10, Whelen Vortex)

I went out to Florence a couple of days ago while chasing the TSRR. While they were switching the Port of Florence (prior to tying down for the evening, much to my surprise), I went to record a siren test since it was about the time of Lauderdale County's bi-monthly test. I wasn't feeling like recording one of the unrecorded Whelens in the county as I was in the mood for a mechanical siren, but I didn't quite feel like going and rerecording a siren either, so I decided to set-up about half-way between the P-10 and the Allertor and record an ambience. While waiting for the test, a couple of college students in a pick-up truck had been curious what I was doing and offered me a beer afterwards. Given the fact that I drove myself here and am not of the legal age to drink yet, I politely declined their offer. A couple of old ladies in a minivan stopped and asked if I was the new neighbor that had just moved into the house my camera was set-up in front of (which I was not, since I still live in Huntsville). The ACA Allertor is about 3/4 of a mile behind the camera and is the siren that winds-up first. Surprisingly it's not as loud as the P-10 is, though that might be due to it being wired backwards. The top horn on it also appears to have been hit as it appeared to be at an angle when I saw it today. The P-10 is on a building in downtown Florence about 3/4 of a mile away in the direction my camera was pointing, and is the main siren you hear in this ambience. A Whelen Vortex can also be heard, and I think I heard it coming from my east-ish, but I'm not aware of any Whelens that way. In fact, the two closest Whelens are the one along US 72/US 43 near the Port of Florence on the south side of the downtown and the one near Florence High School. If anyone thinks they can find a closer Whelen, feel free to hunt for it. Lauderdale County, AL tests on the first and third Wednesdays of every month, weather permitting.

Besides, us siren enthusiasts survived for years without scanners/tones before so we can survive without them again.)
