Camp Mabry in Austin, TX

I was taking a trip to Camp Mabry in Austin when I saw a Federal Signal Thunderbolt 1000 or 1000T.

Has anyone checked this out or had plans to? Was it in service? I heard they stopped testing because of COVID-19, but I'm not 100% sure.

Texas sirens test the first Wednesday of every month, I think.

Any info? :ugeek:

The entire state doesn't test at the exact same time, many places have different testing times.
