Lightning Predictors

• The Villages have installed lightning prediction systems at Presidential Park, the Lions/Armstrong Memorial Pool at Snapper Field, and all Lake in the Hills parks.
• How It Works
• The system detects conditions that could trigger lightning. When a potentially dangerous weather situation is approaching, a Warning Signal (one long 15 second horn blast) will sound and strobe lights will activate. The strobe lights are mounted on the prediction system cluster located on the roof of a building at each site. If the strobe lights are activated, a potentially dangerous weather situation exists. When the dangerous weather conditions have ceased, the All Clear Signal (three short horn blasts, two seconds apart) will sound, and the strobe lights will deactivate.
• Procedures
• When the Warning Signal sounds, all activities in affected park(s) will end immediately and patrons must leave the park. It is recommended that park patrons seek shelter in their cars or a building. Patrons should avoid areas that are higher than the surrounding landscape, they should not use a tree for shelter, and they should keep away from metal objects such as bicycles, golf clubs, umbrellas, etc. All park patrons must wait until the Lightning Prediction System performs an All Clear Signal before returning to the park and resuming their activities.
• Caution
• Although the Lightning Prediction System helps assess the weather conditions, weather can be highly unpredictable. Neither the signal nor the system is intended to guarantee that conditions are safe. If the weather appears to you to be threatening and no warning signal is heard or seen, use good judgment and leave the park. Do not wait for the warning signal to activate, as the system can malfunction. If you are at a park without a lightning protection system, continue to follow judgment and your organization's rules for inclement weather. Please be aware that lightning can strike even on a sunny day. Therefore, anytime lightning is observed, the best course of action is to seek shelter immediately. When planning outdoor activities it is advisable to check the weather forecast.
