Tip of the Week

Automated Lightning Detection System

The College has an automated Thorguard Lightning Detection System mounted on top of Lund Center and the football stadium building. The system is designed to predict a lightning strike within a defined geographical area (6 miles) and will provide advance warning even when there appears to be no evidence of lightning in the area. When the sensors detect conditions for a lightning strike, the automated system will sound 15-second blast from its horns to warn those working or playing outside to immediately seek shelter, and a yellow strobe will activate and stay on until danger has passed or at least 10 minutes after the last detection of lightning. Once the system has detected an all-clear, you will hear three short blasts and the yellow strobe will go off. The lightning detection is operational daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. If the system activates, you should immediately go inside the nearest building. Do not seek shelter under trees or other tall objects, which can attract lightning. Motor vehicles can provide shelter; however, once inside the vehicle, do not touch any metal that is part of the motor vehicle frame.
