how accurate is it at this moment? Has it gone down? The reason I ask is because it’s only showing 409 strikes and hardly any are around Taupo. Yet there is a severe thunder storm warning in place.

Warning is actually for well north west of Taupo and the storms are moving AWAY from the town. The detector isn’t bang on accurate but gives a fairly good "rough" estimate of where the strikes are coming from.
