Strike Guard Alarm System The Strike Guard lightning prediction system is designed to detect lightning in a local area BEFORE lightning strikes . Its advance warning system allows decisions regarding dangerous situations to be proactive , not reactive . Even though the Strike Guard System helps assess potentially dangerous conditions , neither the signal nor the system is intended to guarantee that conditions are safe . Participants using outdoor facilities should take appropriate shelter when the warning signals are activated . If the weather is threatening but no warning signal is heard or seen , use good judgment and clear the area . Do not wait for the warning signal to activate .
Strike Guard systems are activated each year from March – November during the outdoor athletic season . During that time , the systems are tested on the second Tuesday of every month intermittently throughout the day .
