Why do you get a feeling like vertigo every time there is a thunder and lightning storm?
The barometric pressure falling as a storm fires up puts pressure on the entire body. This is why you will often hear people say that they can "feel" a storm coming. Some people also get headaches with thunderstorms. This can be attributed to the barometric pressure change, the change in the charges in the air or both. The way to tell is by the symptoms of the headache itself. If the pain I'd like a vise grip, that is the barometric pressure. If it if like a burning or stinging sensation this is the electrical charges in the air. If it is pressure and the feeling of a hot searing branding iron, this is both. People with migraines and epilepsy can often have an increase in attacks during these events.

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.
