      @andrew98 I have no lightning showing in Florida in either the app or web. I see it in other parts of the country.

        @andrew98 Can you please share any screenshot from the app? Lightnings should be available in all RadSat layers, but they can be turned off in the toolbar at the bottom of all these layers.

          I checked yesterday and it seems that lighting was missing over Florida.
          Today, looking at the 12h radar back, the lightning is shown in the north part of the state,
          near Jacksonville but not below Palm Coast.
          But need to be confirmed by strong future thunderstorms

            @idefix37 Yes, same here. I'm in Palm Coast and no lightning showing, yet there's plenty around.
            I'm having to use News4Jax radar to see lightning. The dog suffers since we don't know enough ahead to medicate her :(

            Definitely no lightning showing south of JAX, and both weatherbug and News4Jax show it.

                @Suty I posted a couple of images earlier on this and it is continuing through today (8/20).
                It seems to be an area roughly defined as an area S of an E/W line across the peninsula, starting around St. Augustine. Oddly, it is visible in the Gulf of Mexico and the western Atlantic. There is some visible on the far SE area around Palm Beach area.

                  btw, seems like it was working ... and now it's not any more?

                  I can hear thunder outside and but don't see any lightning strikes on the radar map...

                    Would it be possible to know where you are experiencing this problem ?
                    At your location or everywhere over the world ?

                      I am in Seffner, Florida, having the same issue. 0 lightning strikes during a thunderstorm. I recorded 26 within the same storm using a personal weather station with a max detection range of 40km. Windy reported 0 in my area. The storm was from 1:20pm EDT to 2:46pm EDT.

                        The lack of lightning in Windy over the northern part of Florida has already been noted in the posts above. Your observation confirms this.
