The following procedures are to be followed when potentially dangerous weather exists:
Warning Signal
A warning signal (one long 15-second horn) will sound and strobe lights will activate when a potentially dangerous weather situation is in the area, along with a strobe light flash while the alert remains active, and three short horn blasts and the cessation of the strobe light indicating an All Clear.
Procedures
All activities in the park should end immediately and patrons should leave the park. It is recommended that park patrons seek shelter in their cars or a building. All park patrons should wait until the lightning prediction system performs an All Clear Signal before returning to the park.
All Clear Signal
The All Clear Signal (three short horn blasts, two seconds apart) will sound and the strobe lights will deactivate. After the All Clear Signal sounds and the strobe lights deactivate, park patrons may resume their activities.
Caution
The Perry Weather system helps assess the conditions. Neither the signal nor the system is intended to guarantee that conditions are safe. If the weather is threatening and no warning signal is heard or seen, use good judgment and clear the field. Please take proactive action rather than waiting for the warning signal, as the system may not always function as expected.
