Lightning Strike Safety Facts
• Lightning can strike from as far away as 10 Miles from the leading or trailing edge of a storm.
• 30% of victims are struck under blue skies before storms arrive.
• 60% of victims are struck under blue skies after storms have passed.


This is why 60% of injuries and fatalities occur after it seems a storm has passed. ThunderBolt® Storm & Lightning Detector will warn you about what's coming your way, and give you ample time to get safe, and remain safe until ThunderBolt® tells you the danger has passed.

Relying on your eyes and ears is the most dangerous way to flirt with the awesome power of thunderstorms.
On average, thunder can only be heard from a distance of 2 to 4 miles. Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from the outer edges of a cell. By the time you hear the first clap of thunder, you've been at risk from a direct hit from lightning for 30 minutes or more.

You are at risk for 30 minutes or more after you think a storm has safely cleared the area.

The TIME TO CLEAR function on the ThunderBolt® Storm & Lightning Detector automatically calculates the required time margin based on actual storm movement, and takes the guesswork out of safety. You could actually be standing in front of the Empire State Building, and be the victim of a strike "Out of a Clear Blue Sky" from the edge of a storm over Newark, N.J.
