| LIGHTNING DETECTION WARNINGS When dealing with lightning detection companies first you need to know that they have been saying the same thing for decades - we are talking about going on 30+ years now! In the 1990s it was ESID, then it was Strike Guard in the 2000s and now in the 2010s it is Earth Networks. They have all claimed at one time or another that cloud to cloud lightning is a precursor to cloud to ground lightning. When in prior sales meetings with lightning detection companies, THOR GUARD has asked our so-called competitors to provide real data that cloud to cloud lightning leads to cloud to ground lightning and after dodging the question with excuses the detection companies finally admit they cannot warn you of a first lightning strike. |
| If Cloud to Cloud Lightning really was the ultimate precursor to Cloud to Ground Lightning, then in order for a lightning detection company to warn you before the first Cloud to Ground Strike, they still require lightning right above your head to warn you - does that sound safe to you?! Ask the detection company how safe that sounds to them? Ask the detection company for their research to prove that Cloud to Cloud Lightning leads to Cloud to Ground Lightning? Ask the detection company if they are capable of warning you of a FIRST lightning strike? |

| THOR GUARD LIGHTNING PREDICTION WARNINGS The first image to the right is actual, real life THOR GUARD data. This THOR GUARD system in Arizona went into Red Alert at 2:59 PM with the first and only strike heard by Thor Guard staff in this area at 3:08 PM. The second image to the right is real THOR GUARD data from Florida with a 17 minute warning before the first strike in central Florida! And the third image is again actual, documented THOR GUARD data at our Corporate Offices in south Florida, giving a 26 minute advanced notice of lighting! Thus proving that not only can THOR GUARD detect lightning, but we can also PREDICT lightning BEFORE it happens. Any other lightning warning system would have simply warned you a few moments AFTER lightning strikes very close by! We use real data over millions of hours to prove we are the World Leader in Lightning Prediction and Warning systems! Since every thunderstorm is unique, our typical warning time is 8 to 20 minutes BEFORE lightning arrives close to your area. This is why Thor Guard uses the words LIGHTNING PREDICTION all over our website and why THOR GUARD has been around for 40+ years, because we don't just wait for lightning's occurance to warn you, we look for the precursors of lightning development to advise whether conditions are becoming dangerous! Not only do we listen to the noise created by a lightning strike, but we also sense the signature of lightning's formation beforehand - that is how we PREDICT lightning! |

LIGHTNING DETECTION RESUMPTION Why would you buy something from a lightning safety company when on a large poster about how long their horn blasts are for an All Clear followed by the fine print that says… 'This system does not guarantee that conditions are safe.'? As a matter of fact, this is on a current lightning detection companies website. Detection companies have to say this because they know that lightning could still strike at any time as a storm is ending and since they only detect lightning AFTER it happens they had to come up with a random wait time AFTER the last strike within an arbitrary distance! Taking a look at the back side of a storm, let’s find out about the science that went into waiting 30 minutes after the last strike within 6, 8 or 10 miles. Ask the detection company how waiting 30 minutes after the last strike within an arbitrary distance determines whether or not you are safe? |

THOR GUARD LIGHTNING PREDICTION RESUMPTION With a THOR GUARD Lightning Prediction system onsite we are constantly monitoring the atmosphere for building and falling charges to determine your safety. If charges are building with or without lightning present, we will warn you ahead of time to recommend you are located in a safe location before the threat of lightning. If charges are falling, then we will let you know when the atmosphere has returned to a state of stability where we recommend you are safe to go back out and resume outdoor activities - using scientific measurements onsite, not random time values! THE WORLD LEADER IN LIGHTNING PREDICTION AND WARNING SYSTEMS THOR GUARD systems are based on technology and experience with every market imaginable. The list of high tech, engineering base customers like NASA (5 systems), the US Military (48 systems), nearly 100 colleges and universities, and major sports franchises from the NFL, etc. would not order multiple THOR GUARD systems if it was not the best on the market. Let alone the thousands of golf courses and county parks/schools that have used THOR GUARD to protect their property over the course of our 40+ years in the Lightning Safety Business. No wonder detection companies have attempted to purchase Thor Guard or partner with us saying ‘we have the best product on the market’ - well we agree and you will too! |
