Limaps.org is the data archive of Blitzortung.org. Here you will find the strike positions calculated from the data from the detectors. We only store the results of the calculations and not the raw data that is sent from the detectors to the servers. There is no guarantee that the sources of the electromagnetic signals from the lightning strikes are near the calculated positions. For each calculated position we only guarantee the following statement.
Blitzortung.org is not an official authority for lightning or thunderstorm data. The data is provided only for private and entertainment purposes. The project Blitzortung.org is merely a voluntary leisure activity.
It is not allowed to use the data of Blitzortung.org for storm warning systems, for plausibility checks of overvoltage damages, or risk analysis for precautionary protection of high-quality technology, even if the data is not obtained directly from our site but from third-party websites.
The use of our lightning data is allowed only to the participants of the project or to those we explicitly have allowed it.
We are not liable for the completeness, timeliness, quality and accuracy of the information on our website. We are not responsible for damages, resulting from trusting the content of our website or its use. This also holds if the data is obtained from third-party websites.
