Title: 3 Lightning Strikes Damage Downtown Duluth, Minnesota, Sunday, August 24th
Post by: schwab on August 25, 2014, 07:43:46 AM

Is there a method to display historical Blitzortung lightning maps for this event?

Go here:

Select the "2-24 hour" checkbox.  You should be able to zoom in to the Duluth area and see whether the strikes are displayed.

Best,

I would add that if you are logged in and fully zoom in on a strike you can see the timestamp too.
