Lightning Prediction System
The East Lake Youth Sports Complex is very fortunate to have a Thor Guard Lightning prediction system located on the roof of the Football concession. The system measures amospheric conditions and predicts lightning strike probabilities. A 15 second horn blast will sound if the system determines that there is a greater than 90% probability that lightning will strike within 2 miles of the complex in the next 20 minutes. When this happens, seek shelter immediately.  Shelters include, the Eagles nest, the field house, the concession pavillion, portable and inside cars. A strobe light on the roof will flash continuously as long as there is a danger of lightning. When the danger has passed, the horn will blast 3 times and the strobe will turn off.
