I'm working on a personal project to map out historical lightning data trends and I need the exact locations of lightning strikes going back to the past 10 years. As far as I can see, there is a national lightning detection network in the US that collects and stores this data. I can't figure out how to access the data though. Does anyone have any suggestions?

dont get me wrong,I dont like the aftermath of it and the effects of it for some. Just the sound, the lighting, idk I don't to sound privileged I just want to know if other people feel this too
