I have the lightning map on my favourites. Make sure you click it so that it shows the most recent strikes. Do you remember when the power used to go off and every time there was a lightening strike, the phone used to make a tinging sound. That used to spook me when I was a child.
Great website. Amiens north of Paris appears to be getting hit hard. Does anyone know is it possible to view live webcams in Amiens to see this in real time?
The default on the lightning map is to show the strikes in the last hour. That`s why it looks so bad. You need to change it to the last minutes to get a more realistic picture.
