It’s when the thunder and flash come simultaneously that gets my attention.
When I was young and stupid, many years ago. I was about 30 feet from a lighting bolt that stuck on a South Carolina beach. Wasn’t that loud but you could sure smell the ozone.
Also, I was tripping.
This was pretty close. Less than a second so I figured about a quarter mile away. Actually less than a fifth of a mile away or a little over 1000 feet. Perhaps 3 football fields away.
If you want to get a close up shot I suggest golfing.
