Calvary Lightning System: https://www.ccaeagles.org/lightning-alerts
Here is the official lightning website for Calvary. It will continue to reset to the 30 minute countdown as long as there is lightning still in the area. If we are under a lightning warning, stay in your vehicles until you hear the 3 horns and the website says we are clear. Initially, there is one long horn blast if there is lightning and a flashing light on the bathroom building at the baseball field.
Spectators will be asked to shelter in their vehicles in the event of lightning.
