Weather & Ground
Weather and ground conditions in Howard County
Howard County sits at the edge of the caprock, with sandy soils in some areas and hard caliche in others. Caliche can make driving ground rods difficult.
Wind turbines on the surrounding ridges show how exposed the terrain is. Spring and summer storms bring frequent lightning.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.
