⛈️ Splash Pad Weather Update
We are currently experiencing isolated thunderstorms in the area. At this time, I have not heard any additional thunder, so the splash pad remains open.
For everyone's safety, we do follow standard lightning and thunder safety guidelines. If thunder is heard or lightning is observed, the splash pad must be cleared and activities suspended immediately. The National Weather Service and CDC recommend waiting at least 30 minutes after the LAST sound of thunder before resuming outdoor water activities. If thunder is heard again during that waiting period, the 30-minute clock starts over.
Even when a storm appears to be moving away or there is blue sky nearby, lightning can still strike several miles from the storm.
I will continue monitoring the weather. If the thunderstorms continue or we hear thunder again, I will have to temporarily shut the splash pad down until it is safe to reopen.
Thank you for understanding! Safety comes first. 💦⛈️
