During a thunderstorm, lightning occurs first, followed by thunder. This is because light travels faster than sound; you see the flash of lightning before you hear the sound of thunder. The time difference between the two can help estimate how far away the storm is, as each five seconds between the flash and the sound roughly corresponds to one mile.
