Data Link Lightning Data Viewing Range

Data Link Lightning (DL LTNG) data shows the approximate location of
cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. A strike icon represents a strike that has
occurred within a two-kilometer region. The exact location of the lightning
strike is not displayed. Only cloud to ground strikes are reported in the US and
extreme southern Canada (cloud to cloud strikes are not reported).
