Positive lightning is particularly dangerous, because it frequently strikes away from the rain core, either ahead or behind the thunderstorm. It can strike as far as 5 or 10 miles (8 or 16 kilometers) from the storm, in areas that most people do not consider to be a lightning-risk area. â¢ During a thunderstorm, each flash of cloud-to-ground lightning is a potential killer.
When you see a flash of lightning, start counting the seconds - one, two, three, four, until you hear. the roar of thunder. Then divide the number you get by five to determine how many miles away it is. This will give you a rough estimate of how far away the center of the storm is.
