- ceejayoz 12y agoCell phones aren't needed to detect lightning. It's the pressure measurements that are potentially valuable in making a more accurate map than can be gathered by scattered weather stations. http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime shows lightning in realtime as they're detected by stations across the planet. If you turn on the "stations" display, you can see detectors in Utah spotting lightning in the Gulf of Mexico.
