The crux is that AM detection will faithfully reproduce the effects of lightning and other massive static discharges approaching in a very simple way: they re audible as slight crackling noises in the loudspeaker, almost irrespective of the tuning of the radio! Assuming no AM radio is available anymore, a dedicated VLF receiver tuned to about 300 kHz can faithfully detect the crackle of approaching lightning..
