Tis the season to get ZAPPPPED! Real Time Lightning site.
« on: March 28, 2020, 1958 UTC »
Did someone post this site before?    http://en.blitzortung.org/live_dynamic_maps2.php?map=30      Scroll west to North America, then use the +/- to zoom in. About a 7se - 20sec delay on this map seeing what you have LIVE. Tis the season.... Too damn soon.

“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.

And my best ol' pal is stuck dead in the middle of it. ;)

When I was a kid it was an easy way to spot Yankees. In the summer, thunderstorms in the middle of the night scared the Bejesus out of them. It hasn't got hot enough for heat lightning yet, so it had to be a final test. In the days of horse and mule riding Methodist preacher's, straight out of the west of England, they swore they'd been mounted by Satan himself when they got to a town. When the winds started to blow hard ,possums, raccoons, and bobcats would drop and attach themselves to anything below them that looked solid and sturdy. It was always a manifestion of Satan or Baptists to those Methodists.
