What would it mean if there were many seconds in between the flash of lightning and the roar of thunder?
If there are many seconds between the flash of lightning and the roar of thunder, it indicates that the storm is far away. Each second of delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder represents a distance of about 1 mile between you and the lightning strike.

How can you describe a storm with lots of lightning but no thunder?

Why does it go quiet just before a storm starts?
The quietness before a storm is due to the atmospheric conditions changing rapidly as the storm approaches. The lack of sound could be attributed to the wind direction shifting or the sound of thunder being muffled by the distance. This calm before the storm is often followed by strong winds, rain, and thunder as the storm arrives.
Is there wind before a thunder storm?

When you count seconds between when you hear thunder and when you see lightning strike what does it tell you?
Since light travels faster than sound, you can tell how many miles away a thunder storm is by counting. Lightning strikes. 5 seconds pass and you heard thunder. The thunder storm is 5 miles away.
Can you calculate storm distance between thunder claps?

2 My lightning comes before my thunder my thunder comes before the rain my rain before all clouds. What am I?

How can you count the distance of a storm cell by the thunder?
Count the seconds between when the lightning flashes and the sound of the thunder. Divide the number of seconds that pass by five to get the distance in miles or by eight to get the number of kilometers. Note that this only gives you the distance to the bolt of lightning. The storm cell itself is probably at least a few miles across.
How far away is the storm if you count two seconds between the time you see lightning and the time you hear thu?
If you count two seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder, the storm is approximately 0.4 miles (or about 0.64 kilometers) away. This is based on the fact that sound travels roughly one mile in about five seconds. Therefore, a two-second delay indicates the storm is relatively close.

What is the actual method for finding the distance you are from the storm using lightning and thunder?
For a long time it was thought by many people that the number of seconds after the lightning strikes is the miles the center of the storm is from you. Although this does show how light travels faster than sound, this system is wrong. The actual method for finding the distance the heart of the storm is from you is by counting after you see lightning; and stop counting after you hear the thunder. Now, for every five seconds after the lightning struck until you hear the thunder, it is one mile away. So if ten seconds go by between lightning and thunder, the center of the storm is two miles away.
