Thor Guard Lightning Detectors can predict lightning before it strikes. Thor Guard Lightning Detectors continuously monitor the atmosphere's electrostatic energy and evaluates the potential for lightning (97% accurate within a 2-mile radius, with detection possible up to a 15-mile radius), and when a detector determines the potential for lightning in the area a 15-second air horn blast will sound and its strobe light will turn on. Upon hearing or seeing these signals people who are outdoors should seek appropriate shelter. When the detector senses conditions are safe, the strobe light will turn off and the horn will sound three short 4-second blasts. Then normal activity may resume.

Thor Guard Lightning Detectors are installed at City parks and aquatic facilities, Lewisville Independent School District campuses, and at City Hall.
