of course it would be hard to know that another is approaching but you might be able to detect the second storm at 1:15. You might get inspiration from something I suggested to David in my post from july 17 [[App] Better control over lightning strike alerts](https://community.tempest.earth/t/app-better-control-over-lightning-strike-alerts/6511/17)
