Lightning Warning!

You will be warned by Thor Guard Lightning Prediction System, which sounds one 15 second blast of the horn signaling suspension of all activities.  A strobe light will begin flashing and remain flashing until safe conditions return.  ALL PLAYERS-PARENTS MUST LEAVE PARK AND TAKE SHELTER IN PARKING LOT.  YOU MAY RESUME ACTIVITIES ONLY AFTER THREE (3) 5 SECOND BLASTS OF THE HORN ARE SOUNDED AND THE STROBE LIGHT STOPS FLASHING. 
Thorguard – Lightning Prediction System
THE BROKEN ARROW PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS INSTALLED A LIGHTING DETECTION SYSTEM AT
INDIAN SPRINGS SPORTS COMPLEX, NIENHUIS PARK AND CENTRAL PARK (MAY 2010). WE ASK
THAT YOU ADHERE TO ANY WARNINGS THE SYSTEM MAY GIVE REGARDLESS OF HOW
CONDITIONS MAY APPEAR TO BE. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE WITH ANY INCLEMENT
WEATHER.
The THORGUARDIAN is the first, totally integrated advance warning system for lightning. The
sensor continuously monitors the atmosphere's electrostatic energy and evaluates the
potential for lightning. When the system determines a hazardous condition, the air‐horns and
strobe light provide necessary alerts.
How the system works in basic terms:
1. System detects the probability of lightning striking based on measuring electrostatic energy
in the air, NOT that lightning has struck. (That could be too late!)
2. When the system detects a high probability of lightning the alert horn will sound and the
strobe light will come on and stay on.
3. Once the alert horn has made the warning, the system begins a 10 minute count down. If
conditions are cleared during that time frame the system will give an all clear, if not the system
will continue to recycle the 10 minute count down process.
4. Once an “all clear” condition is established by the system it will give three back to back horn
blasts and the strobe light will go off.
REGARDLESS OF THE HORN, IF THE STROBE LIGHT IS ON STAY OFF THE FIELDS! The best place
to wait out the storm is in a nearby enclosed building or vehicle. Do not wait under a tree,
pavilion, tent, umbrella or dugout!
*Please note that this is the same system that is used by the PGA, the Olympic organization, &
other professional sports organizations. We should not put our children in harms way based on
personal judgment for the benefit of playing a game. For reference the system is made by Thor
Guard and info can be found at www.thorguard.com
