Data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) spacecraft Lightning Imaging Sensor. I have not caught the Wx channel sources in the last half hour so don't know who they are quoting. Correction, caught it, source World Wide Lightning Detection Network. The data below shows none near the area. I looked at prior and post date also, same. But here could be gaps.
