Thanks for the info Jpayne9207, and welcome to HAIF.

How did you learn about the sort of sirens we had in Houston? Is there a club for this sort of thing?

There are many siren websites on the internet. I & other siren enthusiasts found some articles on what happened to the sirens we had. There are a few websites you can go to & learn about the type of sirens we had, or what sirens certain city's have. Here are a few:

there was also a short discussion on the houston sirens on the first links board archives somewhere.

there are many more

Houston had Federal signal Thunderbolt 1000, 1000T & 1003 sirens. There was also one located on the corner of long point & campbell Rd. at an elementary school. I lived very close to it & heard it wail every friday at 12pm. There were many others located around houston, but they were all taken down in the early 90's. They were used for civil defense & storm warning.
