A rare event for SoCal, lightning. We’ve got some thunderstorms going on right now. Weather station is recording it all. Cool!

Every single time the sky lights up with that bright, clean light my phone gets a notification from WeatherFlow. It’s crazy how accurate it is.

I hope you don’t get a notification on each strike ? It is supposed to send alerts related to distance as explained in [this topic](https://community.tempest.earth/t/lightning-alerts-logic/807)
