Post a few screen shots or station IDs (although they can be very transitory) and we'll see what we can describe. KJ4ERJ-15 injects various lightning strike data in different forms. Single strikes are strikes. Multiple strikes within a 6 character grid-square are compressed to an area that

Re: [Xastir] I think someone changed something about Weather Alerts
