Oh, I always count, but I don't know what each second means! I just know that if I can't get past three, its okay to be scared...

Count the amount of seconds between when you see lightning and when you hear thunder. Each second equals 1 kilometre. Eg If you see lightning and it takes 5 seconds to hear the thunder, then it is roughly 5km away. This is a bit of an old wives tale but in my experience it seems to be quite true.

Yep! Three seconds to the kilometer, and five seconds to the mile. I love thunderstorms! Except when I'm not at home and realize I left my computer on.

Usually. I don't know if there is a real text book range calculation rate but I always count.

I have heard that you can do that, but I personally have never tried. I'm chicken when it comes to thunderstorms, I am usually too busy diving for cover. :D
