“Lightning” gives us the amazing ability to tap into a network of radio receiving stations scattered around the world which can detect individual lighting bolts over practically the entirety of Earth’s surface. Data arrive within 1 to 3 minutes and we can be alerted when it’s time to unplug our computers (even if they’re protected by surge protectors, which are apt to be insufficient matches to a billion-volt lightning strike anywhere nearby). The app lets us see where lightning is now and where it is the most on average over a full year. And it can teach us just how intense a lightning bombardment can be, with a storm so intense that the dots cover the map several times over. Strikes up to one hour old are shown, with three color codes for time since detection.

I will keep track what had happened during these extreme weather events and I will be used to that in the Australia, in the outback in places like Alice Springs in the Australia’s Northern Territory are tracking storms hit in the summer months while it is winter here and lightning strikes can be bad hit the areas of NT in the Australian outback. There are so lightning strikes in the Lasseter district , in the areas like in Yulara, in the township near Uluru has places hit hard during storms with the most cloud to ground lightning strikes hit the area and take precautions to be safe during a lightning storm. Lightning is one of the most powerful forces of nature and it is very dangerous when lightning strikes. Please be careful aware of severe thunderstorms hit the area in the Northern Territory, Australia.

In the past, (before getting the app) I would warn my golf buddies that we probably shouldn't be out playing when thunder was present and lightning visible in the distance. They would come up with a number of excuses why we should just play and take our chances and get the round over with. Since getting the app, I'm now able to objectively show them the actual lightning activity and the direction the storm is traveling. They no longer call me a "baby" about thunderstorms because they can see for themselves whether or not we're in the line of fire. Many of them have since loaded the app on their phone. I highly recommend this app for anybody and everybody! My only suggestion is that they add a "resource tab" of information and links on the do's and don'ts when it comes to experiencing thunderstorms.
