Small Data Set Request - rheitzig - 2025-09-23

I volunteer for a non-profit supporting high-school soccer, have been looking for lightning strike data for a very small area on a small set of dates.  Is this data available anywhere?  At every turn I find "Access to this data is restricted" or data only available to insurance companies subscribing to a service. 

The data I'm looking for is for is bounded by this GPS rectangle (45.09306, -93.3464), (45.09128, -93.3431) on these three dates (2025/07/15, 2025/07/28, 2025/08/09) UTC-5.  I'm trying to figure out whether some audio problems we have been having are related to a lightning strike or just bad service from our wiring guy.

Is this data available somewhere?

Unfortunately that gives me a map at the MN state level and no way to zoom in or see exactly where the strikes were, but thank you.

You still have this side project from Tobi

the little calendar top allows to select a range and then you pan/zoom to your area you're looking for
Not every single strike is there but with some luck you find what you need

Thank you, I appreciate it.  This was very helpful.
