I inject two types of lightning objects into firenet.us from KJ4ERJ-LS.
There are SZ-* objects that light up grid squares and are located at the
centroid of the strikes over the past 10 minutes. The comment should
contain the count of strikes in that gridsquare. And there are LS-*
objects that represent each individual strike. But if there are more
than one strike in a given 6 character gridsquare in the past 10
minutes, the smaller square is outlined and filled with color depending
on how many strikes are within it.
All of these objects are killed when no longer necessary. SZ-* objects
are killed when there have been no strikes in the past 10 minutes in
that square. LS-* objects are killed after 10 minutes, or in the case
of 6 character gridsquare objects, when the count goes to zero after 10
minutes.
Note that these objects use the MultiLine format to describe the area,
but specifically do not otherwise comply with being "NWS Objects" per
the published spec.

PS. You can see the active counts of these various objects in
KJ4ERJ-LS's telemetry:

I wasn't seeing any of the expected Wx Alerts in Xastir related to the
hurricane so I un-filtered my Firenet feed and just used the "f" filter with
a couple of South Carolina stations entered so I'm not pulling the entire
feed for world-wide...
Now I'm seeing county boundaries and irregular polygons light up due to
xmitted objects but View / Weather Alerts remains blank.
If I "Station Info" the object, it came from AE5PL-WX so I think something
got changed about the format of Weather Alerts again...
There's also another station that appears to be putting out a lighting
strike object that lights up the border of the entire grid square around the
object....
Any idea what's going on?
