We have the "Let's Read and Find out Science" book called Flash, Crash, Rumble, Roll! I am sure you can guess what that is about, anyway the kids loved the page on counting after you see the lightning until you hear the thunder to see how far away the storm is. So last night we had a huge thunder storm come through just before dinner, when we first started counting we would just barely get to 10 sec. (1 mile away), we counted all the way to when it was just 3 seconds away! Then we had a while of it shaking the whole house when the flash and the cracking were together! It was wild! And then we started counting it again until it was 10 sec. (1 mile) away on the other side of our house!
Here is a video out the back door, the rain was so heavy and you can hear the cracking of the lightning!!
