Stormivo · October 8, 2026 · Ethan Stidley

Purpose and limits

Stormivo displays derived NOAA satellite lightning observations and experimental proximity notifications. Satellite flash centers are approximate, can include cloud lightning, and are not verified ground-strike coordinates. Detection, coverage, freshness and notification delivery are not guaranteed. The service is not an emergency warning system or an official NOAA product. Missing data or alerts do not establish safety.

You control location monitoring, alert radii and map-history settings. Internet access, enabled permissions and fresh location data are required. Features may be unavailable during outages, outside supported coverage or while device restrictions apply. Do not misuse the service or attempt to access another user's data.
