Fascinating to watch this update all by itself! Now I have 3 sites to supply me with sufficient information on whether or not it's time to disconnect the antenna (not including the Weather Channel)

http://thunderstorm.vaisala.com/explorer.html (The old reliable standby)

And yes, there is one other method..."stick your head out the window". (Courtesy of James Stewart) Hmmm....not recommended for this kind of weather!

I stumbled on this site the other day while a storm sailed past the town. It was interesting to compare the big noises on the radio with corresponding nearby strikes
