This map will let you pick areas of the US for up to
date Lightning display. For example if
you live in the northeast pick that area and then 60 min. You then
can click on a little
blue square to open a live lightning map near where you live.
Below is Java applet, the StrikeStar Lightning Tracker
which features a 24 hr animation loop with user controlled replay
speed,
zoomable sectional maps, smart data reloads, cross section intensity
indicators and user configurable
stroke type differentiation (try the different buttons). This applet
requires that your
Internet browser uses Java 6 (1.6.0) or later and may on lower end
systems
be quite CPU intensive. You can get java updates at the
Sun Java Website.
