NEW
& NOTEWORTHY
Lightning Detection System
Lightning causes an average of 80 fatalities and 300 injuries each year.
Lightning occurs in all thunderstorms; each year lightning strikes the Earth
20 million times. The energy from one lightning flash could light a
100-watt light bulb for more than 3 months.
Most lightning
fatalities and injuries occur when people are caught outdoors in the summer
months during the afternoon and evening. Lightning can occur from
cloud-to-cloud, within a cloud, cloud-to-ground, or cloud-to-air. Many
fires in the western United States and Alaska are started by lightning. The
air near a lightning strike is heated to 50,000°F. The rapid heating and
cooling of the air near the lightning channel causes a shock wave that
results in thunder.
How far away is the
Thunderstorm?
> Count the
number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the next clap of thunder.
> Divide this
number by 5 to determine the distance to the lightning in miles.
Why
are we telling you all of this?
Recently the Village of
Antioch Parks Department purchased a system that will help pre-warn people
participating in our parks of lightning nearing the area.
Currently three
notification systems are in place and operational. They are located at
Williams Park, Centennial Park and Pedersen Park. Park patrons and nearby
residents will hear a
warning
siren when lightning is detected within 5 miles of the sensor equipment
(located on top of the Village Hall). If the sensor equipment goes for a
period of time (typically 30 minutes) without sensing additional lightning,
an
all clear
siren will be activated. The system will be activated between 8 AM until 9
PM, throughout the summer and early fall. This can be changed based on
actual park activities.
