Stupid lightning is all south of us in Kansas and Missouri...

Don't ya just hate it when it acts like that

Well from everything I can see if I don't record some more strikes tonight I will tomorrrow...  Man My work Boss wishes they had a detector as Central Fl saw a lot of action this afternoon...

Finally!

I'm not seeing anything on the map but I heard a faint rumble and....

(So, that's like <15 miles... Radar shows some yellow stuff about 10 miles away... this whole front is like 3 states wide with lightning and tornadoes)

Finally  LOL

Well it looks like it works which is what matters

I'm jealous... that was quite a lightning show you had going yesterday... detector was going off like a popcorn popper!

[JaxWeather]

It was bzzzzztttttttttttttt city here on and off all day long

Here is a screen shot of the majority of the hits...



Had another small grouping of strikes after the latest on the above screen as well, last strike was recorded at 10:50 Pm ET last night...

I think I'll have to adjust my counts down from 50 to say.... 20. Looks like that'll take care of most storms.

Sorry for resurrecting this topic, but I was wondering...

Tom,

Do you think it is possible to have a warning, like you have on your page when lightning is close, using the lightning data that is provided by AllisonHouse (which is an addition for the GRLevel3 radar software)?

This would really be a neat feature, in my opinion.

Thanks.

The problem is.... the data I use for my warnings is in text format. The data from Allison House is in GIS format. The trick would be finding some way to tell the software where the lightning is in relation to whatever location you want the warning for. Sounds like a very difficult to code - custom application.

Tom,

Could you somehow get the text file from Tyler at AllisonHouse (ultimately from USPLN) that plots the lightning icons?

Not legally. 

The other problem is that it's in GIS gibberish.
