LIGHTNING WARNING SYSTEM

            Lightning is a severe hazard that must be viewed seriously.   Everyone should immediately seek shelter any time they believe lightning threatens them, even if a signal has not been sounded.

            You will be warned by our 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.  You should immediately seek an appropriate, safe shelter.

            You may resume activities only after three 5 second blasts of the horn are sounded and the strobe light stops flashing.

IF YOU REMAIN OUTDOORS AFTER THE WARNING IS ISSUED, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
