Animations of lightning

This is an animation of cloud-to-ground lightning from a land-based sensor.
This is an animation of cloud-to-ground lightning near St Louis from a land-based sensor.
This is an animation of the GLM lightning pixels -- they change color as they age (black when new, then red/orange/yellow as time progresses).
This is an animation of GLM with cloud-to-ground lightning from a land-based sensor for 10 seconds, near St Louis, starting at 0041 UTC.
Here is that same scene played at two different speeds
