Lightning without thunder during a storm is typically caused by a phenomenon known as heat lightning.

How can you estimate how far away the lightning strike will be?
By listening for the thunder. When you see a prominent lightning strike, start counting "one thousand one, one thousand two", etc. Each of those is about one second. There are five seconds in every mile (sound travels 1/5th of a mile per second). If you count to fifteen, the lightning strike is three miles away. Lightning and thunder occur at the same instant when the lightning strike is very close to you, and the thunder will sound more like a cymbal crash.
How do you calculate how far a storm is away?
After you here thunder every 6 seconds until the next lightning strike it is a mile.
