With the above in mind, general delivery guidelines for Lightning Verification Reports are as follows:
- Strike count report: Delivered instantly upon receipt of order.
- Full mapped report: Same business day if ordered before 3pm Central; following business day if ordered after 3pm Central.

Important Notes
*Due to restrictions placed upon the weather reporting industry by the lightning data network vendor, we can only allow a 10 day search period per request for a StrikeMap report. If you need help narrowing down the most likely time period to have impacted the location in question, please contact us prior to ordering.
Don't worry - if you order a report for a certain time period and there is no lightning detected, we will contact you first and see if you wish for us to modify the dates before sending the report. We are happy to do this at no additional charge in most cases.
**The radius around the center point is set to 1 mile by default (industry standard), but may be increased (or decreased) upon request.

About Lightning Data
Lightning data used in our reports are collected by ENTLN (Earth Networks Total Lightning Network). ENTLN is the largest lightning network in the world, with over 1200 sensors in more than 40 countries.
The ENTLN network was the first one specifically designed to distinguish between in-cloud and cloud-to-ground strikes, and capture the precise locations of both in a very efficient manner. This is made possible by employing proprietary GPS based technology throughout the network.
ENTLN is based in the United States. They own, operate and maintain the lightning detection network, but they do not provide lightning verification reports. Instead, they have partnered with us to provide lightning verification report services for our customers across North America.

Questions about lightning reports
What is a lightning strike verification report?
An address-specific report of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes within a radius of a subject location during a requested time period. The Strike Count report ($29.95) is a one-page tabular listing of the number of strikes; the Strike Map report ($69.95) plots the exact location of each strike with a written summary, mapping and a table of every strike.
How long a time period can a lightning report cover?
Due to restrictions placed on the weather reporting industry by the lightning data network vendor, a Strike Map report can cover a 10 day search period per request. If no lightning is detected in the period ordered, WeatherGuidance contacts the customer first to modify the dates, at no additional charge in most cases.
How fast is a lightning report delivered?
Strike Count: delivered instantly upon receipt of order. Strike Map: same business day if ordered before 3pm Central, otherwise the following business day. Strike Map reports are prepared by hand, so these are guidelines.
