No, not sparks jumping between the shield and centre of your coax…
Just been sent a link to this: Lightning & Thunderstorms - World Map
Could come in useful I guess? They also do kits, just in case you should fancy joining in, although at close to 200 euro, listening for static crashes may be a cheaper alternative!

Wow! - what a ‘crackling’ site. And it’s a wonder that we can communicate at all through the levels of QRN indicated!!!
Well done all the volunteers that maintain it - as with our own SOTA sites and all the volunteers. Always appreciated!

They have a nice Android app for your phone so you can keep an eye on things when you are out and about.
I use mine all the time, it’s fascinating…
