Sadly, the map is not self-explanatory.

Almost real time lightning strikes. (Sorry, I thought the subject line (thunder and lightning, albeit in German) would be sufficient.)

:laugh: When I first read the title to this thread, I thought it was about Donner and Blitzen, Santa's reindeer...

OK. Try this:

I thought the map was referring to explosive kebabs!

It's even more fun when you click on the Detectors and Sounds buttons.

Clicking the Sounds button doesn't do anything on my laptop. Should I be hearing something?

The sounds work for me in Firefox (31) but not in Internet Explorer (11).

It works in Chrome too...though it sounds like a small crackle. At first I thought some port was receiving too mach power and was shooting sparks...

That's great stuff! And yes, in Chrome, it sounds sort of like a Geiger counter.

Very nice, good resource, thanks.

It's actually Donner not Donder, Donders are the kebabs :evilgrin:
Cheers, Claude.

To play Lounge Pedant for a moment: the names of Santa's reindeer were originally Dunder and Blixem; this was later changed to Donder and Blixen, and finally to Donner and Blitzen in 'Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer'.

See Donner or Dunder

The name of the kebabs is doner (with one n), from the Turkish döner.
Best wishes,
Hans

You may want to lay low for a while as John might seek you out and Blitzen you for taking over that role!

My very first Lounge Pedant entry: You need Blitzen to make Donner, so the topic to this thread should be Blitzen und Donner :smile:
Cheers, Claude.
