It's nice and detailed. I would be able to see where lightning is on the way to work, or my girls way to school.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

One could use this map to arrange for one's enemies to be in just the right place at the right time.  >:D

We had an awesome but short thunderstorm. Right after I posted in this thread I unplugged the modem and computer. We then got some hits that made the cat jump up out of a deep sleep. Lightning and thunder at once.
