I mean, sirens are typically mounted 30/40 ft up in the air, right? It just seems kinda low, like maybe 10/15 feet.

10 ft is around floor to ceiling of a normal room. That's around 30 feet. Lowish but not lowest and on the lower end of normal.

Skip to 1:32. I had no idea there was one of those "half-allertors" in Colby nor did I know that they were actually active. Either way it's pretty hilarious. Unfortunately I can't find it on Google maps anywhere and it's not listed on the Kansas statewide map.

I finally found it after hours of looking. Not even close to any town :lol:

Here are the cords: 39°16'43.23"N 100°57'44.45"W

Very sorry for the bump, this just had me very interested!

Very low M-10 in Moorefield NE. I've seen this thing up close, presumed inactive.

Let's just all hope this is not active.
