Here is what ya need
https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/runtimeprojects/a-lightning-detector-for-arduino-9f679c
I have a few of these guys in play doing my tower light monitoring and
control at our sites.
I got a little inquisitive about how to detect lightning before it hits
and with some tweaks on the code of what I already have I now
have a site that is bullet proof when a storm occurs. When It detects I
have the AC and DC bank drop out for 30min and drop back in
once the storm passes. If detection still occurs during that 30min that
clock is reset.
We do this only on 2 sites where towers do not have a ground or are
poorly grounded where system ground is read above 25ohms
