I have heard thunder but have had no strike indication on my
StrikeAlert, why is this?
The most likely explanation is that you
are hearing thunder which is the result of cloud-to-cloud lightning.
Like other lightning detection devices, StrikeAlert detects cloud to
ground strikes only. Cloud-to-cloud strikes can occur during a storm as
well as when the storm is forming. Anytime you hear thunder, you should
use caution and seek shelter..
Is it possible for StrikeAlert to miss a strike?
StrikeAlert
is the most accurate detector - by far- that we've tested. However, it
is possible for StrikeAlert to miss a strike if it is in the presence of
interference, if it is processing a strike while another strike occurs,
or if the strike is a cloud-to-cloud strike. The careful user will use
StrikeAlert as a trending device - knowing what range of distance the
storm is in, watching to see if the storm is approaching, and seeking
shelter when the storm is within 6 miles (as recommended by the National
Lightning Safety Group)..
