I check this company for physics toys for the classroom and saw this. Cheap 
enough ...

In the shack - Google Lightning detection online for several of the
services. Some are free.

Used Lightning Detection in broadcasting in South Florida for about 30
years.
When it got within a 100 miles we went to generator at all the studios &
transmitter sites.
In broadcasting we could not disconnect cabling but you can.

Does anyone here have experience with lightning detectors? I thought
it might be handy to have one of these in the shack.

>From what I've seen some are quite fancy, meant for hikers and boaters
and such. But I'm thinking that something simpler (i.e., cheaper)
might be useful around the shack. Would these be any better than just
listening for lightning crashes on the AM broadcast band?

(As for EMP... yeah, I expect you won't need a detector for that.
Everyone will know about it at pretty much the same time...)
