Lightning is one of nature’s biggest killers. Pantex, along with our fellow Texas Panhandle ranchers, farmers, businesses, home owners and schools, are working together to provide you with the Pantex StrikeNet app!
Pantex StrikeNet uses a combination of a weather station that provides rainfall, humidity, temperature, wind speed and direction, barometric pressure and dew point. In addition, the weather stations provide information such as heat index, wind chill, rainfall rates, yesterday and today’s rainfall, yearly rainfall and much more!
What Pantex StrikeNet adds is a state-of-the-art lightning sensor that has a range of up to 30 miles on top of the weather station data. So, now you can see both the lightning data from each site and the up-to-the-second weather data as well!
To access “wind chill” and “heat index” information, simply touch the word “Temperature”. To access dew point values, simply touch the word, “Humidity”. To see the one minute average wind gust and the highest wind gust since midnight, touch once, then twice on the word, “Wind”. To see the rainfall rate, touch once on the word, “Rain”. Touch again on the word “Rain” to see “Yesterday’s Rainfall”. Press a third time to see the “48 hour rainfall” . A fourth press on the word “Rain” will show you the yearly rainfall at that location. To see the barometric pressure change since midnight, touch the word, “Pressure.”
Pantex wants to thank it’s community partners who are working with them to provide this very important weather data to the residents of the Texas Panhandle!
