Lightning Strike Archive?

[L Garchow]

Hi all,

I am trying to find a site that would show lightning strikes for a specific day. Does anyone know of such an archive?

I'm looking for July 2nd, till about 2am July 3rd for Michigan.

I appreciate any info you might have.

Thanks so much !

Lisa

It's not cheap...

USPLN may also offer archives, odds are it will be less expensive.

LightningTrax - $95, uses USPLN data

hehnly and dale reccomended the best option if you really want to look at the lightning strikes from a radar perspective, but if you didnt want to see the radar data and wanted to see reports...i would suggest taking a look at the NCDC storm events page, because sometimes they list lightning damage reports...

i took a look for you and tried from july 2-3 but, i didnt know the year...i assumed that you meant this year, and if thats the case there aint no reports...but thats how it goes sometimes...

lightning reports arent the same as severe weather reports...hope it helps bro!
