Android NexStorm App.

So if you have an Android Phone and Run NexStorm and serve your nextstorm_arc.dat file to the web there is and App called Mobile Storm that lets you view your lighting strikes on your Android Phone.

Thanks for the heads up.  This app works well on my EVO 4G and my ASUS Eee Pad Transformer.  I'm currently pondering how to make this readily available to users but I don't see a way around guiding them through the manual entry of the nextstorm_arc.dat URL as well as of my Boltek's geographic coordinates.

In order to share this app with users I added a blurb at the bottom of my lightning pages on my web site explaining how to get 'Mobile Storm' and how to set it up for my Boltek's data and location.

I just received a query from one of my website visitors regarding other available 'nexstorm_arc.dat' files in different geographic locations, especially eastern NY.  A quick google search for 'nextstorm_arc.dat' led me to my site, http://www.gwwilkins.com, only.  Am I the only one with this data available, or do more of you also serve it up on your websites?  This is a great little app that I use frequently to get a quick look at the lightning in my area.  Do others do the same elsewhere?

I used the search 'nexstorm_arc.dat' and came up with several sites using the NexStorm data file. Also, the app Mobile Storm is in the Google Play Store.
