Lightning Prediction System
The East Lake Youth Sports Complex is very fortunate to have a Thor Guard Lightning Prediction System located on the roof of the Football concession. The system measures amospheric conditions and predicts lightning strike probabilities. A 15 second horn blast will sound if the system determines that there is a greater than 90% probability that lightning will strike within 2 miles of the complex in the next 20 minutes. When this happens, seek shelter immediately. Players will follow Coaches to a designated shelter.
Shelters include:
The Eagles Nest
The Field House
The Concession Pavillion
The Eagles Portable
The Eagles Equipment Portable
Inside Vehicles
A strobe light on the roof will flash continuously as long as there is a danger of lightning. When the danger has passed, the horn will blast 3 times and the strobe will turn off.
Heat Mitigation Tank
East Lake Football & Cheer has a cooling tank available in the event of a player exhibiting heat distress. The tank is located in the downstairs area of the Eagles nest.
