Hi everyone, I normally lurk on this newsgroup but i thought i might ask a
question of the lightning detection system.I have just come in from a walk
around the mansfield area notts/derby's, heavens opened and several cracks
of thunder occured. I checked on several lightning detection sights ,
nothing . I have noticed this on a number of occasions so was wondering if
the detection system is flawed or has areas where detection is hit and miss.

regards steve


I would like to know this as well, seeing as a Boltek detector costs
knocking on the door of 500 quid.

How accurate are these things?
