On: Real-time lightning map, worldwide

[BozeWolf]

This is absolutely amazing indeed! I wonder if the maps of blitzortnung (please change the name! To blitztracker or something.) match with data from commercial/public weather stations like metox:

Hard to compare as blitzortnung is realtime. Hmm.

re: the name - unsure if you realise or not, but 'blitzortung' is German for "lightning location (or locating)" :-)

Yes, I realise that. I live in the Netherlands; which means I have had german language lessons at secondary school.

I came up with blitztracker because everybody knows the word blitz and the word tracker. Easier to write and still keeps the german touch :-)
