The Lightning Data Center (LDC) is a unique, worldwide group of professionals in medicine, meteorology, engineering, photography, and allied areas. We also include as members, individuals that have been struck by lightning, people that have received an electrical shock, and others who have an interest in lightning and electric shock and can bring some form of expertise to the group. The diverse backgrounds of our members bring a singularly unique form of expertise to the LDC.
We meet once every month to discuss the topic of lightning, lightning and electric shock injury, lightning safety and related topics, from a number of different viewpoints. Occasionally, lightning strike and electric shock cases are presented. We will occasionally have guest speakers present lightning or electric shock-related information to the group.
Meetings are held on the 2nd Friday of each month at St. Anthony Hospital at Lakewood, Colorado and are free. Lunch is served. For a map to the hospital, click HERE.
Finally, the LDC will, from time to time, conduct research to help further our understanding of lightning. To see some of our research efforts, click here.
