Detection companies require an actual lightning strike to occur before a warning is issued that it is no longer safe to be outdoors! How is that considered 'lightning safety'? Thor Guard, on the other hand, was engineered to warn PRIOR to a first strike in a defined area near a sensor so people can safely seek shelter BEFORE that first strike occurs.Ĭustomers must decide what the value of a life is.

Knowing more about lightning, its causes, and some basic safety rules can help you and your family avoid needless exposure to the dangers of lightning. Don’t be misled by lightning detection companies that utilize delayed and inaccurate detection networks. cc./cache.aspxd4854163798037530&wfhWq6c6HtCufawXvTWf1dhQ1eypF03PH Secure. This internet site is intended to serve as a resource for lightning information for the state of Colorado. THOR GUARD has always detected lightning, but it is our prediction algorithms that have enabled our Lightning Prediction Systems to stand apart from any other company claiming to be our competitor. THOR GUARD's ongoing goal is to continue creating and distributing the safest Lightning Warning Systems in the World and doing so with our own exceptional Designers, Engineers and Meteorologists! Over the last 50 years, we have studied thousands of hours of Lightning Strike Data over the millions of hours of our systems operations - all for the purpose of continually improving our unique Prediction and Detection Technology incorporating state-of-the-art hardware. A value of 270° would be ideal, but a good locating is also possible on much smaller values.THOR GUARD began manufacturing Lightning Prediction Systems in 1973. It is also possible to view animated maps, but consider that it will take some time to load them. angle of participated station around lightning position (in parenthesis: stations that weren't used for calculation). Here you can display the lightning strokes for each day on different maps. Printable versions are at the bottom of this page. Mouse-over each day to view the 24-Hour Cumulative Lightning Strike Map.

Participanted: Did the station participate? If 'no' is colored, then a signal has been received but it wasn't used for the calculation These graphics are updated daily around 800 AM.

Participants: Number of stations that received the lightning stroke.

Very experimental, only suitable for near lightning!

Polarity: Positive/negative lightning. Faizuddin is still traumatised from the lightning strike that killed his three friends as they took selfies atop a 400-year-old fort in India, where climate change is making lethal strikes more.

Very experimental! Currently almost no informative value!

Deviation: The smaller, the better the locating.

Direction: Approximate direction (exact value won' be displayed due to usage limitations).

Distance: Distance stroke to station calculated from runtime (1ms = 300km).Runtime: Difference between time of stroke and reception.

WeatherBug has current and extended local and national weather forecasts, news, temperature, live radar, lightning, hurricane alerts and more. If a lightning stroke was detected, some additional information correspondending to the station will be displayed. No Weather Cams available in this region.
