I've found a website that is useful for detecting approaching
thunderstorms. But I am very puzzled by a statement on the website:
"Vaisala Inc. detects a significant amount of lightning in an area not
detected by human senses." Elsewhere it says that the site records cloud
to ground strokes only, so I know they aren't talking about cloud to cloud
lightening.

So I'm very puzzled, does anyone know what kind of cloud to ground
lightening strike is undetectable to human senses? I tried a Google search
but came up with nothing.

BTW, here is a similar lightening detection site for UK/Europe.

Hi,

I would hazard a guess that their clumsily worded ad actually means that it
detects strikes that are far enough away for a person not to be able to see
or hear them.

You're probably right. I can't imagine what kind of lightening would be
"undetectable", except strikes that are too far away to hear or see.

Indeed. Lightning it is that flashes across the sky. *lighening* does not and
nor does lightening. How does one go about *lighening* the load by the way? ;-Þ

Cheers.
