As the Dean of Students at Marco Island Academy, I can confidently say that Thor Guard has become an essential part of our daily operations. Living in Southwest Florida, where weather conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably, we rely on Thor Guard as if it were an additional member of our staff.

We use Thor Guard every single day to help guide our decision-making when it comes to student safety with weather related events.  Whether it’s lightning detection or monitoring heat index levels, the system provides us with real-time, reliable data that ensures we are making the best possible choices for our students and staff.

Our campus has unfortunately experienced direct lightning strikes in the past, resulting in damage to our facilities. Because of this, we place a tremendous amount of trust in Thor Guard to help us stay ahead of dangerous conditions. Our athletic programs also depend heavily on it, especially during practices and games, where monitoring heat and lightning is critical to keeping our student-athletes safe.

Quite simply, Thor Guard is indispensable to our school community.

I would also like to recognize Mr. Dugan for his outstanding support. After one of our direct lightning strikes damaged our Thor Guard system, he and his team responded immediately and had us back up and running without delay. That level of service and commitment reinforces why we trust Thor Guard not just as a system, but as a partner in safety.

Brazil is the country with the most lightning strikes in the world, as it is the largest tropical country on the planet, with a hot and rainy climate. The annual average is 77.8 million lightning strikes, but in the last two years 280 million lightning strikes were recorded. Lightning strikes cause an average of 110 deaths per year in Brazil. Therefore, the use of the Thor Guard Lightning System is essential to ensure the safety of the golf course and other areas of the condominium such as the beach, equestrian, lakes, etc. Despite the distance from ThorGuard’s headquarters, we are very happy with the quality of the company’s equipment and remote support.

The Thor Guard Lightning System is a must-have for golf courses and tournament operations, providing accurate lightning detection to keep players and staff safe during storms. With real-time alerts, it helps ensure timely decisions. The company’s customer service is top-notch—always responsive, friendly, and ready to assist with any needs!

We have enjoyed our Thor Guard system for many years. We have a monitor up in the golf shop and the Thor Guard color system makes it easy for our staff to show our customers when dangerous weather is getting close or when it becomes all clear. It takes out the guess work, which we all appreciate.

In my 3 decades of working in the Caribbean and Central America, there is not a better system to protect your golfers/members/guests from a possible lightning strike. Thorguard gives people time to get to a safe area before something bad happens to someone. That is why we chose Thorguard. We would not be safe with any other system. Thank you Thorguard.

We’ve been with ThorGuard for over a decade, and upgraded to 360 five years ago. The functionality has vastly improved the benefits we receive from the system. In addition to safety notifications for our membership and the helpful app, the data collected by our weather station is critical to help our Superintendent track precipitation and ET rates.

Thor Guard 360 is extremely reliable, has taken the guesswork out of predicting lightning, and ensures staff and visitors remain safe.

I can’t imagine overseeing the daily safety and well being of our members, their families, and guests, without having Thor Guard as our early lightning warning prediction partner. I have seen lives saved and changed because of this cutting edge technology. Thank you Bob Dugan and ThorGuard!
