XkyFire is now (as of January 2023) offering personal Lightning Detection and Alerting services for individual’s through-out North America.
With two different account types available, economical safety information direct to your smart device or computer with either a Trekker subscription (annual) or a StormTracker subscription (10 day storm events).
With the ability to update the location of your activities as often as you like, alerts and warnings for severe weather events will now follow you everywhere. Recreationally it will help out with a day at the beach, the football field, or even during a hike. Occupationally, it will help to keep you safe while out on the road, at a work-site, and especially during moments of dangerous exposure such as while working on towers or out in the open away from vehicles or other shelter.
The StormTracker subscriptions are affordable; at just $9.95 per storm event you get the alerts and warnings needed to help stay safe during an approaching hurricane, or during multi-day tornado outbreaks. With instant activation, you will always know when severe weather is approaching because Lightning is the definitive indicator of the most dangerous areas of large storm events. The subscription lasts for ten days, more than enough to get you through an approaching hurricane or tornado outbreak.
Trekker subscriptions are functional year-round and your alerting location can be updated as often as you like.
With either Trekker or StormTracker, you will receive sms text alerts directly to your cellular phone, as well as eMail alerts to whatever address you want. When dangerous lightning is seen to be repeating nearby, you will also receive “Warnings”, then, once the storm passes and no dangerous lightning has been sensed for at least thirty minutes, an “all-clear” message.
The XkyFire sensing network is a modern, all digital system of medium-range lightning detectors that continuously monitor storm activity, 24/7.
Back-yard pool parties? Lightning should no longer be a worry with the XkyFire “line-in-the-sand” method of sending alerts. Are you a linesman working aloft today? No problem, you will receive more than adequate warning of approaching storms that might be dangerous to you. Planning a hike through a woodland park? As long as you have cell service, you will be alerted when a storm approaches. Nearly any outdoor activity you can imagine, work or play, the XkyFire Lightning Detection and Alerting service will help to ensure safety for you, and the people you care about most.
Until now, the XkyFire Lightning Detection and Alerting service has only been available to commercial operators. For the first time, this is being made available to everyone.
To get started, open a web browser page and navigate to https://xkyfire.com/Account/SubScribeIntroDuction then select the service that will work best for you. Click on either the Green Trekker or StormTracker buttons and follow the cues. You will be up and running in less than five minutes, and will begin receiving alerts immediately whenever dangerous lightning is seen nearby.
