Local Properties
Typical properties we protect in Gray County
Wheat farms & grain storage
Winter wheat is a staple crop on the flat tableland north and west of Pampa, and elevators and farm bins are the tallest things on the horizon.
Cattle ranches & working pens
South of Pampa the land breaks into rougher rangeland around Lefors and McClellan Creek National Grassland, where ranch houses, barns, and pens stand alone.
Oil & gas service shops
Gray County has a long oil and gas history around Pampa and Lefors, and metal shops and pipe yards still support that work.
Route 66 buildings in McLean
McLean and Alanreed sit on old Route 66, where older brick and frame buildings and churches have aging wiring and tall parapets.
Weather & Ground
Weather and ground conditions in Gray County
Northern Gray County is part of the flat High Plains with clay loam cropland, while the south drops into the rolling, sandier breaks along the North Fork of the Red River and McClellan Creek. That change in terrain and soil means grounding at a Lefors ranch can look very different from a farm north of Pampa.
Storms that form over the Panhandle in late spring and summer often bring frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, hail, and strong wind, and on open wheat ground or rangeland a house or barn is usually the highest point.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.

Gray County lightning protection FAQ
Can you protect an older brick building in McLean?
Yes. Older masonry buildings need fasteners suited to brick and mortar and conductors routed along corners and parapets. We look at the roof and wiring condition first.
Do you protect ranch houses and barns in the breaks south of Pampa?
Yes. Remote ranch buildings on rolling rangeland are often exposed on ridgetops, and we plan each structure's air terminals and grounding separately.
How is grounding different between the plains and the breaks?
Clay loam on the plains usually allows driven rods, while sandy or rocky ground in the breaks may need more electrode length or a ground ring. We check on site.
Do you travel to Alanreed and Lefors?
Yes. We serve all of Gray County, including Pampa, McLean, Lefors, and Alanreed.
