I see that they change color and am not seeing anything to show me how long it has been since the strike happened. Certain customers shut us down due to lightning and we have to wait 30 min from the last strike within eye sight. I found this and would like to use it more often but i need to be able to prove that we are in the clear. Any help would be appreciated.I think some things need to be voiced very clearly and strongly before anyone attempts to use Blitzortung for determining when it might be time to do something relative to the last time of a strike. See the following statement that can be found on the Blitzortun.org "Contact" webpage (http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/inde...=en&page=7):
