It would be helpful if the Lightning Strike applet included the lightning count. I created a filter in IFTTT to only report strikes \<15 miles and divided the time by 3 for example and the remainder is zero, so every single report does not get reported. The “Then” is a Virtual Button to Alexa. This is to announce everyone to get out of the pool. It’s not unusual to get hundreds of strikes from a single storm cell in a few minutes. Dividing the count would be more reliable or accurate.
