GLM Observations

As storms were initiating I turned on GLM and NLDN to watch GLM show cloud to cloud in advance of cloud to ground.

Sure enough, the first 3 bolts from GLM appeared at 2131z.  It was not until 2138 that a negative stroke appeared on NLDN.

This confirms that cloud to cloud occurred about 7 minutes before the first cloud to ground.
