PERRY WEATHER

Dundee Township Park District uses a lightning warning system at Randall Oaks Golf Course, Randall Oaks Park & Zoo, Bonnie Dundee Golf Course, and Dolphin Cove Aquatic Center. This system warns of actual lightning strikes within a 10-mile radius of the park. When lightning is detected, you will hear a 15-second blast, and strobe lights will begin to flash on the unit. When this occurs, ALL outdoor activities should cease, and all persons should seek shelter in a permanent building or vehicle immediately. Activities may only be resumed once the system has indicated the “all clear” with three – 5 second horn blasts, and the strobe lights will stop flashing. There is a minimum period of 30 minutes if the system goes into alarm, before it will be all clear. You can visually see the lightning and the current "countdown timer" as conditions change.  Each time a lightning strike happens within a 10-mile radius, the timer will reset to 30 minutes.
