Remarkable Conditions Today?

[N0BGS]

Look at the Lightningmaps.org site today.  Amazing.  

Strikes from the central US are being detected at stations in Japan and even Australia and all over the world. Strikes in Central Europe are being received in the US. 

Being new to this perhaps this happens commonly but I've never seen it before.

Must be the eclipse

The experimental computing algorithm is currently the default one on Lightningmaps.org. There are no regions.

Thanks, Tobi.  

Does the "normal" algorithm typically filter out all but the local region? If so I guess that explains why the BO site does not show strikes from all over the world on a single map?

I am not totally sure but your station sends data to two different servers.
- Server 1 on which a region is specified
- Server 3 with no region specified.

I guess Server 3 reviceve data from all the network and runs the LM algorithm.
