The Township of River Vale has lightning detectors placed at various locations in town. They are designed to detect lightning strikes within ten miles of each location.  Like most technology, and with the unpredictability of weather, they are not always 100% accurate.  If you hear thunder, or see lightning, please get indoors as quickly as possible.

You can monitor the current status of our lightning detectors from our website. Please see the Lightning Detection webpage for more details. Be safe!
