Lightning on 16/02/2020, help please?
I experienced lightning flash and thunder on Sunday 16/02/2020 21:00 UTC. I immediately checked lightningmaps.org to see 3 strikes nearby in Bristol, UK. A minute or two later strikes hit in Wells, nearby.
Two days later I found this was related to fire alarms and car alarms going off around the city, reported on the news and on twitter:

IF anyone help me find any data that relates to this, I would apprreciate it. I can't find any record of it in the lighningmaps.org history, I can see the tweet also shows it on lightningmaps.org at the time, even though I can't find it archived.
I can't find any trace on metcheck.com or blitzortung.org either.
Even there is a condescending quote from the UK met office saying there is nothing special about this event.

Can anyone please help explain why these strikes do not seem to have been archived? Thank you
Well, I was not even aware there were lightning archives. So, thanks for that!
Regarding why the strikes aren't in the archive, I wouldn't have any idea.
One other thing I'll note is that lightningmaps.org IS blitzortung.org. The other site you mentioned is not familiar to me, but I'll check it out.
Thanks again, and...
The truth is out there. Keep finding it!
There's such a thing as super lightening. Suspicious Observers just posted today. It had the effect of a bomb. It threw rocks through houses and left dirt embedded in the siding. Other than I know very little about it
