Feature request: event type #33

Hi. It would be great to be able to generate HomeAssistant events for each lighthing detected within the target area. It would ease building automations, for example sending a message on every lightning strike in a given perimeter without defining a zone.

Also, this event could contain the distance and azimuth since they are computed anyway, as well as the city if #32 was implemented as well.

@mrk-its this is actually a really nice suggestion and I was about to suggest the same thing. Mind looking into this?
