Lightning near you, from the same satellite the weather service uses. Florida leads the country in lightning deaths, and almost everyone struck is outdoors — at the beach, on a field, in the backyard — without having heard thunder yet. StormStock now reads NOAA's GOES-East lightning detector every minute and shows you what is happening around you. Turn on "Lightning near me" in Prepare and you get one alert when lightning is detected within about 10 miles of where you last used the app. One — not one per strike. Then nothing until 30 minutes pass with no lightning nearby, which is the National Weather Service's own rule for going back outside. It is off until you turn it on. On the map, a violet layer shows lightning activity from the last 15 minutes, and Home shows a banner when there has been lightning within 10 miles. Detection is by satellite, so it tells you lightning is in that area, not the exact spot it landed. Also in this update: • The assistant and message translation answer again, and keep answering when the service behind them is busy • The storm facts the assistant gives you now come with their source — Ready.gov, FEMA, the NWS When you hear thunder, go inside. No place outside is safe.

The mutual-aid board is now a conversation. Add a photo to what you are offering or asking for — the generator, the spare room, the empty shelf — and let people comment and react instead of having to move the whole thing to the neighborhood chat. You can take your own post down whenever you want. Reply to a specific message, the way you already do everywhere else: swipe a message to the right, or hold it. Works in the neighborhood chat, in direct messages and in groups. Pinch any photo to zoom in — a price on a shelf, a street sign behind the flooding — and save it to your phone. The rain radar and the satellite clouds now hold at every zoom level and play without gaps. They were dropping frames when you zoomed out or let the animation run; that is fixed, and the satellite is no longer an hour behind. Also in this update: • The weather card stays open while you read it • Jump back to the current radar frame at any time Stay safe out there. Report what you see — a neighbor is looking for it.

Tap the weather card to open the whole week — highs, lows and the chance of rain, drawn on a single scale so you can see a change coming without reading a number. The rain radar moves now. Instead of one frozen frame, watch where the rain is actually heading — and the last frames are a forecast for the next half hour, so you know if it is coming to you or passing by. The satellite view animates too, and a Now button jumps you back to this moment. Also in this update: • An hour-by-hour forecast right on the home screen • Messages from friends arrive the moment they are sent • Pull down on any screen to refresh what you are seeing • A new look throughout, and our own storm icon in place of the emoji • The in-app guide now covers all of the above Stay safe out there. Report what you see — a neighbor is looking for it.
