Comments about Xtreme Research Corporation Skyscan Lightning Detector:
Living on the tallest ridge in North Fulton County, Ga., I have many storms that come at me from all directions. This unit has been used on 3 storms since I got it. The first storm did not get close enough to sound the warning, although the lights blinked at 8-20 miles. The second storm came up in less than 15 minutes and the warning went off as it was severe. The third storm was yesterday and was all rain. No false warnings. Set range to 50 miles and I could see indications of strikes when the light blinked and on the local TV radar that showed a large storm at about 50 miles west of my home.
