The U.S. Lightning Damage Survey
LightningStrikes.US is the only online tool able to track lightning storms, identify the locations and full contact information of businesses in the storm area and report the business' proximity to the nearest strike, within 0.1 mile. This unique patent pending technology is being used to conduct the US Lightning Damage Assessment Survey (USLDS), providing critical information and statistics for insurance companies, utility companies, and others. Statistics including amount of lightning damage and vulnerability vs. proximity to strikes of varying intensity.
Additionally, LightningStrikes.US can provide information to companies specializing in lightning damage protection such as lightning rods and other protective equipment for buildings, computers, and industrial controls, making it easier for vulnerable business owners or residential customers to gain access to these kinds of protections.
LightningStrikes.US and its unique technology are the creation of Amemco.net, a consulting firm with 30 years experience in helping large companies avoid unscheduled equipment downtime caused by lightning storms, power surges, heat, vibration, and other root cause stresses, which result in the malfunction and/or failure of computers, automation equipment, communications and other electronic devices. Amemco’s unique strategy and specialized method called Functional Interface Stress Hardening (FISHing) led, in 1984, to their client patent on the most effective and frequently “private labeled” (utilized) circuit used in lightning and power surge protection, over the past 25 years.
Today, LightningStrikes.US and the USLDS are able to yield critical national statistics concerning business damage from lightning strikes and connect companies providing protective technology to the businesses and homes that need them.
