Lightning Detector
I bought a lightning detector from Amazon a couple days ago. I have Prime so I got it in 2 days. Delivered today, a holiday. Anyway it is a handheld/pocket detector primarily designed for hikers to use when out in the open. It is an Acurite model 02020 and uses 2 AAA batteries. It will easily fit in your pocket or clip to a belt. The literature says it will detect lightning as far away as 25 miles (depending on terrain). I've had it on tonight and it has alerted 3 times. The strikes were far enough away it couldn't measure the distance. There was a strong storm that went through 2 counties north of Atlanta which would have put the storms about 20-25 miles from my location so I guess I works. The cost was about $30 including tax. Of course delivery was included with Prime membership. I also get lightning alerts from the weather service on my smartphone.
