DIY lightning maps
Tuesday, August 08, 2006 (21:58 UTC)
Sensor webs are very cool. Collaborative sensor webs are even cooler. Blitzortung.org is a user-contributed lightning data network for central Europe. if you have a directional lightning detector and a PC connected to the internet, you too can help construct a European lightning map in near-real time.

And then, you can look at it via a network link in Google Earth. (There are stand-alone viewers as well.)
