Default Real-Time U.S. Composite Satellite Imagery: Large Animation

Fine subscription product, but it also relies on the same cell phone reception which is, at best, iffy above ~4,000ft agl. One can buy small cell "booster" units that marginally improve reception. Ideally, you'd want a satellite phone or small sat receiver that can process the raw GOES data on board.. Unless someone knows that Stratus/Siriius already provides this capability. And, yes, I would pay a chunk of money to know if that cumulus street I'm in extends more than the couple miles I can see ahead. Wouldn't have to worry so much about firing up the turbo.
