But when you add modern tech to cartography, my head just spins. I’ve loved maps since I was a kid, though I never took it to the same extent that some of you brainiacs did.

Also, there's the receiver station density. When I've tested it a few times in Colorado and North Carolina thunderstorms and only about half the thunder I heard showed a ground strike. Evolving sensory technology. There’s something about it only registering ground strikes.

I can see strikes all over N America and the Caribbean, in real time, but nothing where I live. There are orange and brown dots all over S FL, and an occasional new strike miles away in the glades or Cuba, but no evidence of the show going on right outside my window.
