Another thunderbolt that we don't know about?

Ontario is home to a lot of weird sounding Model 2s

That definitely isn't a Thunderbolt. I originally thought it was a 2T, but after listening to it closer it sounds like two or more Model 2s going off at the same time at slightly different pitches.

Okay, I agree with you there is likely a lower-pitched model 2 nearby along with a regular high-pitched model 2 making it sound dual-tone.

I can see three Model 2s on Streetview at the Plains Midstream refinery. There could be more than three at that refinery.

It's likely the same thing that happened with two whelens in this video...

Well just thought I'd post an update on one of Toronto's Mobil Directos. the MD at the Harbourfront Centre has been removed in recent years as of 2019 or 2020.

when it was still there in October 2019
