Weather & Ground
Weather and ground conditions in Ward County
Ward County includes the Monahans Sandhills, with deep, dry, wind-blown sand. Grounding in dry sand often needs deeper rods, more electrodes, or ground rings.
The county is flat and open, and dry thunderstorms can bring lightning with little rain.
A lightning protection system protects the structure; it does not replace personal lightning safety.
