Selected question: Why is Lightning HOLD active?

No lightning HOLD is active

The system is not currently showing an active lightning HOLD for this monitored site. If qualifying lightning is detected within 10 miles, a 30-minute HOLD would begin.

Why the page shows this

  • Lightning source: tempest.
  • Lightning detected within the monitored safety radius starts a HOLD.
  • The monitored lightning safety radius is 10 miles.
  • The resume timer is 30 minutes.
  • The 30-minute timer starts from the latest qualifying lightning strike.
  • Any new qualifying lightning strike resets the 30-minute timer.
  • The shown resume time is the earliest possible resume time if no new qualifying lightning occurs.
  • Resume is not automatic; staff or event leadership still makes the final decision.
Rule summary: The system starts a lightning HOLD when qualifying lightning is detected within 10 miles. The resume timer is 30 minutes from the latest qualifying strike, and any new qualifying strike resets the timer.
