[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 177607, member: 29323"] This being the season of lightning here in the UK, I thought I would link to the following site. It allows you too watch lightning strikes on a map as they happen. Anywhere in the world. What happens is some enthusiasts have receivers that listen for lightning strikes. We know the speed a radio signal travels at, which is 300,000 meters per second. So if 3 or more receivers pick the lightning strike up, then a computer can give an exact location for that strike. If you click on the Live Lightning mp link, just above the map, you can zoom in & out of a satellite image of the earth & see exactly where a strike was down to the road. Or using the box with 3 horizontal lines in it, in the top right corner. You can change that to a map etc. [URL]http://en.blitzortung.org/live_lightning_maps.php?map=12[/URL] [/QUOTE]
