Lightning Strikes locator

Lightning Strikes locator is fun to watch.  For about $250 US bucks you can add a local reciever and add yours to the data base.

its really heating up.  Give it a few seconds to load then you will see strikes across the country about 4 seconds after the strike.

I have WeatherBug Spark Alert App, with Verizon does same job and local alerts are free, shows the distance from nearest lightning.
you are right amazing how quick they locate and post the lightning on the maps; see this one, average 3-4 seconds delay;

I live in California, it never rains here.  the constitution guarantees every Californian citizen  a clear day every day.  I still remember when it was 100 and we went to the beach on new years day back in the 80's  :banana: :banana:.
