LLDN data were gathered for each storm in our sample. The LLDN consists of sensors from the NLDN, the Canadian Lightning Detection Network (CLDN) and long-range sensors in the North Pacific and Carib S ummer thunderstorms are a normal part of summer weather. When the sky starts to darken and the thunder begins, do you have a child who gets scared? The weather can change very quickly in the s Christopher J. Schultz. 1. , Lawrence . D. .
