How can one determine the distance of a storm from their location?

To determine the distance of a storm from your location, you can use the "flash-to-bang" method. Count the seconds between seeing a lightning flash and hearing the thunder. Divide this number by 5 to get the distance in miles. For example, if you count 10 seconds between the flash and the thunder, the storm is approximately 2 miles away.


When a Cannon fires at a great distance from you why do you see the flash before you hear the sound?

Light travels much faster than sound, so the flash of light from the cannon reaches your eyes almost instantly while the sound takes time to travel through the air to reach your ears. This difference in speed causes the delay between seeing the flash and hearing the sound.
