Yes, thunder and lightning......fantastic....remember, 5 seconds (approx) for every mile!
i was always told 10 seconds,,,oh well thats inflation for you :D

Elementary dear sir....

light travels at 300,000,000 m/s

So when you see the flash you may assume you detect it instantly

Sound travels at around 330 m/s

Given there are approx 1600m in a mile then it takes approx 5 seconds for sound to travel 1 mile....

Hence the 5 second rule!
If you didn't use the internet for that your a genius  ;D

Get some fantastic electrical storms in Thailand, can site and watch them for ages, until they reach the house :-X.......everything gets switched off, cos electricity tends to cut out whole villages/towns at times :-X
