About this app

Before It Strikes tells you when lightning is close, and when it is safe to go back outside.

Get a lightning alert before a storm reaches you, watch it on live radar, and follow the shelter countdown until the all clear. Built on real-time lightning detection and official National Weather Service warnings.

LIGHTNING ALERTS
Alerts as lightning approaches your locations, and when it strikes nearby, with the distance and direction of every strike.

SHELTER AND ALL CLEAR
A live 30-minute countdown from the last nearby strike, following the official lightning safety guidance used by schools and sports leagues.

LIVE RADAR AND STORM TRACKING
Radar, storm motion, and severe weather, tornado, flood and heat warnings for every place you save.

PRECISION
Every strike within your safety rings the moment it lands, a strike log, and the measured chance the shelter ends on time.

Lightning alerts, live radar and a shelter countdown for every location.
