StormScope works by detecting the characturistic electronic signatures
that are emitted by static discharges in the clouds.  The designer pointed
out that if mother nature wasn't so regular, he'd never had been able to
build such a thing.  These discharges may either be real lightning strokes
or other discharges that are generated when layers of air pass each other
in convective activity.
