I can assure you that if in real life you don't realize the delay, the 
sound of thunder is one freaking ass-kicker.

Dunno how much there was space between us and that flash, but one hit 
pretty near (now that I think of it, I think it was less than 100m - I 
can't be sure, 'cause it was "a bit" shocking) and was practically in 
sync. That was LOUD. It felt like it kicked my stomach around with just 
that noise.
