STRIKE-ALERT – Real-time Lightning Notification to Mobile devices and E-mail

We designed this service to be quick and informative using a short text format that is perfect for mobile devices and e-mail.  You are free to customize your setup of the warning thresholds and we even include an “ALL CLEAR” alert when lightning moves out of the area.  The typical setup will include three warning zones, typically configured as follows:

Lightning Detected: between 20-30 miles
Lighting Alert: between 10-20 miles
Lightning Warning: Less than 10 miles

However, you are free to determine which distances for each threshold makes the most sense for your company.  In addition, with each threshold there is a delay setting, where you continue to get alerts as lightning strikes, but only at the delay you set.  For example, you may want a 15 minute delay on the two outer zones, but then you want 5 minute updates when the lighting is within 10 miles.  Again, these delays for each threshold are determined by you.  Our “ALL CLEAR” message will be delivered based on the longest delay you have set up for the three zones, so if you have 15 minutes as your maximum delay, you will get an ALL CLEAR alert when no lighting has been detected for 15 minutes in any of the three monitoring zones.

Here are examples of what the alerts look like when coming across your mobile device or e-mail:

“LIGHTNING DETECTED: On March 23, 2008 at 12:00:00 AM EDT lightning was detected 23.8 miles NNE of Jim's Water Park. Alert sent @ 12:01:01 am EDT”

“LIGHTNING ALERT: On March 31, 2008 at 10:15:25 PM EDT lightning was detected 12.2 miles NNE of Disneyland. Alert sent @ 10:16:30 PM EDT”

“LIGHTNING WARNING: On March 23, 2008 at 1:14:22 PM EDT lightning was detected 4.3 miles W of the Allen County Baseball Park. Alert sent @ 1:15:45 PM EDT”

The cost for this service is very reasonable considering the life-saving benefits it provides (with no equipment charges) as you may encounter with other services you see on the market today.  The initial user on the account costs $79.95/month with each additional user on the same account at $25/month.
