You see lightening first silly! Then the thunder is not far behind.
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound.

Nope, the thunder is behind the lightening. If you hear the thunder the lightening has already been.

When you see lightning start counting the seconds until you hear the thunder. 4 seconds equals 1 mile. If the lightning and thunder happen at the exact same time then you are probably dead and didn't even notice.

The lightning's already happened. The lightning travels at the speed of light, and the thunder travels at the speed of sound, so unless you are getting struck by it, you're going to see the lightning first.

Nope, the lightening has already struck. But there could be more!
