Lightning prediction system installed
TROY — The city of Troy Recreation Department and Parks Department have installed a ThorGuard Lightning Prediction System at Duke Park. The system will provide horn and light signals to indicate dangerous weather conditions.
When a lightning strike is imminent within a 5-mile area of Duke Park, the system sounds a 15-second horn blast, and strobe lights are activated until the threat of lightning has passed. Activities may resume after three 5-second blasts of the horn are sounded and the strobe lights stop flashing.
