[quote=Anonymous]Our pool has lightning detectors installed and the lifeguards also use a weather app, which is required by their employer. The HOA said the detectors alert at lightning within 10 miles. They flash & sound an alarm. That notifies the lifeguard to monitor his apps. The lifeguard said that he's instructed by his company to clear the pool once his app alerts that lightning is within 7 miles. At 7 miles you can still be on the pool deck just not in the water. Once his app alerts that lightning is within 5 miles, he clears the deck and sends everyone home. The pool can't reopen until 30 minutes passes with no new nearby lightning strikes. The pool management company the HOA used last year went only by the lightning detectors. Once they went off, everyone had to exit the pool and the pool closed until there was a 30-minute period with no new lightning alerts. [/quote]
