thanks for the project - bobby mcconnell - 2017-04-30
Thank you for the project. I have a sensitive 11yr old daughter that has been both fascinated with weather and astronomy. The live maps have helped her understand and feel more secure when storms run through our area. We have used the live map on the tv via chromecast to keep an eye on when things are getting close so they are not as much as a surprise.
Its a really neat way of "seeing" the lightning via RF and triangulation. It some what ties into the idea of how geocaching works so it was easier for her to understand.
She would like to become a contributor to the network even though she fully understands our lone detector would not be a huge advantage to us as an individual but would make the network better in our area.
Keep up the good work.
