This H-U-G-E civil defense siren has the old-style CD logo on it from the 1950s. This siren is ginormously huge -- the biggest one we have ever seen (and we live in Texas, where tornado sirens are EVERYWHERE). This siren is so massive that it can't be mounted in a pole -- it needs a steel support structure.
Some Blasterz have tender ears, and don't want to be anywhere around when this thing goes off. We feel for the house that sits literally right across the street. We guess they'll get the best warning of impending doom in town, but the first Wednesdays of the month (when all sirens are tested) must be a pain!!
