(SUNRISE, Fla.) – Thor Guard – the world’s only lightning prediction system – continued its global momentum with installation of the company’s technology at Collier’s Reserve Country Club.
The partnership adds to Thor Guard’s presence across Florida and beyond. Nearly 2,000 system users in the state include golf courses, country clubs, parks, schools and universities, cities and municipalities, airports, government agencies, sporting venues and broadcast media.
The first-ever Audubon Signature Sanctuary, Collier’s Reserve Country Club relies on Thor Guard to provide preemptive warming of lightning strikes. With 130 acres of dedicated preserve and meticulously designed club facilities, the luxurious private club is nestled along Cocohatchee River (Naples, Fla.).
“We are honored to have been chosen by Collier’s Reserve to install our system and provide the most advanced technology of adverse weather warning,” says Bob Dugan, President of Thor Guard. “More than 7,000 locations reduce dangers of lightning strikes by Thor Guard calculating atmospheric energy profiles occurrences eight to 20 minutes before potential hits.”
Collier’s Reserve Country Club selected Thor Guard for its unrivaled sophistication, reliability and accuracy.
“Ensuring our member golf experience is second to none is our top priority,” says Dave McQuade, Director of Golf at Collier’s Reserve Country Club. “After conducting significant research, Thor Guard has proven to be the industry leader in lightning prediction and far superior to any other system. We trust this unit will keep our members and guests safe.”
Climate trends support the need for Thor Guard. Meteorological experts project a 5% annual rise in weather, climate and geological disasters through 2020. North America alone recently suffered 160 natural disasters annually, the most in more than 35 years.
Saving lives and protecting customers’ business operations, Thor Guard sensor technology constantly monitors local environments and forecasts the level of dynamic energy migration needed to create lightning, even with no visible evidence. Recognizing “bolts out of the blue” conditions allows more notification time to proactively manage potentially perilous situations.
