  • Rich,

    How close do you think the lightning was?

  • @FireFlamesrocks the near strike was about 1.5 miles from the camera. It blew out a sub station on rt 50 which is about 1.5 mile from where the camera was located.

  • If it takes 5 seconds for the thunder to come, is it 5km away then ?

  • @Flackerr

    The speed of sound is about one kilometer in three seconds or approximately one mile in five seconds.

  • This is my favorite part of a storm. Before any rain falls, the wind, the thunder, the lightning. I especially love the singing birds in the background too. :D
