Lightning Maps

A great source of real time lighting information is available on the LightningMaps.Orgwebsite. A network of inexpensive lighting detectors have been built, and deployed across the planet. Locally, there’s a sensor at the NWS building, and it is used to help listen for the high frequency tones of lightning, and send this data back to servers in Germany for comparison to the other detectors, across the globe. When 9 sensors agree on the placement of a lightning pulse, its location is sent back to the all of the clients watching the data in real time. What’s amazing is that depending on conditions, for lightning pulses > 2 miles from your location, you’ll probably see a blip on the screen, before you actually hear the thunder.
