    Lightning Tracking

    i'm looking for help from for those of you who work in operations/ dispatch. i need an acurate lightning tracking tool for use on nights like tonight. our lightning detector went on the fritz and we had nothing reliable to plan ramp closures around. anyone here know or use a web-based tool like this?
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9
