I'll add these locations to my master list - I've now received word from Aaron N. that La Crescent, MN had a third Hurricane at some point, replaced by a Sentry 10V.
it's a bit of a surprise to see the Hurricane make it as far as Oklahoma or Florida.
The known square-horn Hurricane locations are listed below:
Milwaukee, WI - all square horned Hurricane 130s were made here. At least one installed in city or surrounding suburbs.
Plymouth, MN - located along I-694, replaced in 1990.
Baxter, MN - this one suffered a mechanical failure in late 2007 and was replaced shortly afterwards.
Centralia, IL - two sirens, one on a parking garage type building, and the one that was located in a tower - Luke owns the tower siren.
Rolling Meadows, IL - three sirens, one located at the fire station. All replaced with newer sirens including an Alertronic 6000.
Eric, thanks for the better resolution photo - I had no idea it was one of your own. I found the low resolution file in an archive of Ben Shinn's old siren museum website. The original file name was "crusher2.gif" and was uploaded on October 1st, 2002 alongside other siren photos - for reasons lost to the seeds of time, Ben thought the siren's name was Crusher instead of Hurricane. ACA never used the name Crusher for any siren. The more photos, the merrier. :hurricane:
