In this mage provided by NOAA shows some of the first images from it's new satellite that maps lightning. A new U.S. satellite is mapping lightning flashes worldwide from above, which should provide better warning about dangerous strikes. NOAA released the first images from a satellite launched last November that had the first lightning detector in geostationary orbit. It includes bright flashes from a storm that spawned tornadoes and hail in the Houston region on Valentine’s Day. (NOAA via AP)
