In version 5.4 and later, the use of CID (Compact Intercloud
Discharge) strokes can identify many more nearby lightning
flashes with a high degree of accuracy and a false alarm rate of
nearly zero. Also, the option to require nearby flashes to
include CID strokes is now available (Options | Settings…
from the main menu). This option can reduce the false alarm
rate for identifying nearby flashes using the previously proven
technique (first included in version 4.6) to zero. However if
storms in your area typically do not produce CID strokes,
then this option should not be enabled.
