This time of year the onshore breeze will blow most storms well north of me. If I see lightning in the distance I will carefull try to track it's path. The moment I hear thunder I'm off the beach and back to the truck. Sound travels about a mile every 5 seconds (actually 761 mph at 59 deg at sealevel). Just to get an idea of the distance of a strike.
