You are enjoying a relaxing day at home and your children ask to swim in the backyard pool or play on the swing set. It sounds like a great idea. The sky overhead is blue, yet you hear the rumble of thunder in the distance. You think, why not, if it starts to rain, we'll come inside. Making the decision to play outside with a storm brewing could be very dangerous!

Over half of lightning strike victims are struck under blue skies, a bolt out of the blue. Lightning can strike 6-10 miles from the leading and retreating edges of a storm. Thunder can only be heard from 2-4 miles from the center of a storm. Therefore, by the time you hear the first clap of thunder, your children and family members have already been at risk from a direct hit from lightning for 30 minutes or more.

In the past, we have all taken our chances with thunderstorms and lightning. Reliable, personal storm tracking data has simply not been available, and relying on our eyes and ears were our only tools. The ThunderBolt's advanced, patented technology has changed storm safety forever. This hand-held storm detector tracks storm activity up to 75 miles away and provides over 50 LCD screen messages with real-time information about the storm's speed, approach, and estimated time of arrival at your location. The ThunderBolt takes all the guesswork out of storm safety and even alerts you when it is safe to resume outdoor activities.

If your family enjoys outdoor activities, the ThunderBolt is a must for your home safety kit.

ThunderBolt....don’t take a chance!
