 Your colleagues back in Lakeview have called again as the storms continue to get worse. While they greatly appreciated the model you created last week for the Mapping N$\vec{E}$twork Sensory Array (MNSA), the data they are collecting from the sensors are simply not matching the model's predictions. They have concluded that modeling storm clouds as point charges was, in fact, problematic. Based on some research from the [[184_notes:lightning|National Weather Service]], it looks like a better model for clouds would be two flat sheets of charge since the negative charges in the cloud collect on the bottom of the cloud and the positive charges collect near the top.  Your colleagues back in Lakeview have called again as the storms continue to get worse.
