South america, and the longest distance for a single flash covering over 750 kilometres in the southern usa. these flashes were observed by new satellite technology, geostationary lightning mappers. daile zhang, who helped to verify these records says the mappers reveal more about the scale of lightning than traditional ground—based detectors. there are optical sensors so you can think of it as, you know, a camera on your cell phone, but it detects, it covers a large domain, north and south america, and adjacent oceans. and it is also a high—speed camera so it takes a snapshot from above t...

To measure the lightning activity the team used data from the Global Lightning Detection Network (GLD 360) and the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN). 🌎 Global Lightning Activity Fell Nearly 8% During COVID-19 Lockdowns in 2020.

Tom, what's the latest forecast? this thing is strengthening, no doubt about it? >> no doubt about it, jim. what we've been watching is a well-defined eye popping up. inside the eye, columns of warm air are shooting up and cooling at the top. we got a lot of lightning activity, so it's strengthening. we'll get a 5:00 p.m. update from the national weather service, but we'll see the pressure drop. when the pressure drops, the winds respond and they really pick up. so, again, we're at 100-mile-an-hour sustained storm. we're about 290 miles from the mouth of the mississippi. four out of five hurri...
