Are these tested like tornado sirens? e.g. First Tuesday. Our Neighboring town is considering about buying these according to their website.

We've contacted the Parks staff regarding your question and will get back to you as soon as we hear back from them.

Hoffman Estates Park District HE Parks Thanks. My other surrounding town has 2 detectors instead of predictors at a school. I never heard them but they did flash when we drove past them

We do test them, but not the way the Village does on a regular public basis. They have been working a lot this week! The sirens cover all of our our parks and facilities.

The Light doesn't rotate, it strobes

He means the light rotates but I don't think Thor Guards have rotating lights either

What a waste of money. I would think hearing thunder would be enough warning.

Hi Jake. Lightening can strike before thunder or without thunder at all. This system warns people when there is a threat of thunder.

Hoffman Estates Park District HE Parks I guess I could see why you would need one. People lack common sense and are overly sensitive and file lawsuits over anything and everything. So I guess it was a good buy.

Well it goes off before the lightning even hit the ground
