Calculating tho distance Of a storm.

toicutatin@ the Distance OF storm.
Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously. an interval Of
shorter or longer. duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena,
which is due to the fact that sound tray
els only at the rate of LOO feet per sec
ond, while the passage of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, it
is an easy matter to tell, at least approx
imately, how many miles thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke TO the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number of feet. which
can be reduced to miles.
For example: If 80 seconds elapse be-
tween the flash of the lightning and the
crash of thunder, the storm center is at
a distance of $4,000 feet. or about 6i
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can be made by using watch with a
minute dial Louis Post Dispatch.
