Did the churches have lightning rods?
I think it's NASA or it could be NOAA that has a satellite that records lightning strikes. There has to be a record somewhere. It was both NASA and NOAA.

The Washington, DC Lightning Mapping Array (click here) is a joint demonstration project involving NASA, NOAA, and New Mexico Tech. The network locates the total lightning activity inside storms using a network of ten stations around the greater metropolitan DC area. 

Here is another:

Over the past five years, (click here) the Earth Networks Total Lightning Network™ (ENTLN) has expanded to cover large areas of North and South America, India, Africa and Australia – providing data on storm formation and intensity to help to protect lives and livelihoods around the globe. With more than 800 sensors that monitor lightning in real time deployed, the ENTLN is the world's largest lightning sensor network.

There are weather apps for handhelds. I don't know if they are simply a warning system or it might record the specifics of local weather. If a call goes on to the people there might be some interesting APPS and knowledge behind them.

The truth would be best. This probably isn't strike location, but, it could be.
