NOTE: Periodically clearing Stormscope lightning
data while monitoring thunderstorms is a good
way to determine if a storm is building or dissi-
pating. Stormscope lightning data in a building
storm will reappear faster and in larger numbers.
Stormscope lightning data in a dissipating storm
will appear slower and in smaller numbers.
