What you'll do

A receive-only storm sensor on your desk that Claude Code programmed — an AS3935 lightning chip (or an RTL-SDR watching broadband impulse noise) feeding firmware that counts sferics, estimates rough distance to the storm head, tracks whether strike activity is rising or fading, logs every event, and gives you an early "a storm is building nearby" heads-up — clearly framed as an informational hint, never a life-safety warning.
