Best program/site for live lightning data?

[aOl]

Is there a good program or site to look at live lightning data?

GRLevel3 with an AllisonHouse subscription.

You get quite a few things with the AllisonHouse subscription like METARs, LSRs, USPLN lightning, hurricane plotting, etc.

GRLevel3 was about $80 (the best $80 I've ever spent!!). I am a registered GR3 user and once you buy the program, you get access to the Owners Forum and a new beta. The new beta has MANY MANY more features than the trial version. It has placefiles, warning settings, FTP internet image uploading, smooth zooming, and other things.

Just my opinion.

EDIT: I should mention that the lightning data is updated every minute, because you wanted live data. (so really, it is live.)

Hey StormScanWx, GRLevel3 sounds cool! Does it have anything on Caribbean, or is it just CONUS?

It is primarily CONUS. IIRC, the only NEXRAD site available in the Carribean area is the Puerto Rico site (TJUA). I see that your location is the British Virgin Islands, and I don't really know how close that is to Puerto Rico. GR3 does have a 248-mile radar view for the Base and Composite Reflectivity products.

I do know there are a few GRx users in Puerto Rico.

Good Luck!

PS- There is a trial version that you can use freely for 30 days.

How about free websites? Lightning is free, so should be the data.
