Lightning Alert Systems
Lightning is a threat to safety in southwest Florida. Several of our parks are equipped with a lightning alert system.
When lightning is detected within 10 miles a horn and strobe light activate. All outdoor activities must stop and you must seek shelter immediately.
All-clear is indicated by three 5-second blasts from the horn will sound and the strobe light will stop.
- The web widgets below will indicate which equipped parks are on alert and when the all-clear has been given. You can Download the WeatherBug App for more detailed weather information.
