Lightning Detection

We use Thor Guard as our lightning prediction and warning system to help protect people from the dangers of lightning strikes. The system uses advanced technology to monitor the electrical activity in the atmosphere and provides real-time alerts when lightning is detected in the area. It is important that everyone takes the Thor Guard system seriously. In the event of inclement weather, one long, continuous siren alerts that lightning is in the area. All outdoor activity is to cease, and people should take safe cover. Three short, separate siren sounds signal that lightning has cleared the immediate area. For your convenience and peace of mind, view our Thor Guard page https://360.thormobile.net/heronsglencc/tv/. We cannot provide mobile alerts , but you can save the link on your computer or mobile device so you can view it anytime.  For your convenience Thor Guard is posted on our mobile app.

Wildlife

It is important to remember that all of Florida's native species contribute to balanced ecosystems. Believe it or not, you’re in their territory. Most wild animals don’t like it when you invade their space. Please do not feed the alligators, birds, ducks, raccoons or any other wildlife! For all wildlife concerns please contact the HGRD Administration Office at (239) 731-4501.
