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 (15 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 ten 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 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 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.
