When surviving in the wilderness, how can you ascertain the distance of an oncoming storm?
Answer By the amount of time between lightning and thunder
If you're looking to determine the distance between you and an approaching storm, try counting the number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the clap of thunder. Take that number and divide it by five - That is roughly the distance in miles between you and the storm.
