ThunderBolt® professional-grade storm & lightning detectors detect lightning and track storms from 75-125 miles away!*


100,000 thunderstorms annually produce over 20 million strokes of unpredictable lightning.
Depending upon where you live in the U.S., sheer luck plays a greater role than you know in the life or death game of avoiding lightning strikes.
Given the number of strokes that occur within 1500 feet of you in a normal storm season, most people rely on a false sense of security. This color-coded map shows five years (1996-2000) of accumulated cloud-to-ground lightning strikes recorded across the United States by the U.S. National Lightning Detection Network.
