A big storm blew through here last night (and the barn opposite me was set alight as a result of a tree being hit by lightning). I wanted to see how close the network got to spotting this cloud-ground stroke.
I went to http://en.blitzortung.org/archive_data.p...w_result=1 and it gave me a choice of files to download. The CSV worked, but the OSM and the KML files did not seem useful -- it particular, the KML file was empty.
From the CSV file, the stroke was reported at the right time and the offset was 4,500 ft.
I also wanted to see information about the stroke, so I did the following search:
https://www.lightningmaps.org/blitzortun...139&bo_get=
but, although it said that five strokes were found, I couldn't actually see them being plotted to click on them.
