Especially if the weather in the movie is stormy: Dark clouds, heavy
rain, strong wind...
I find it rather unlikely that in this kind of setting some viewer
would get confused about the lighting or the sound.
Besides, realistic lightning could be used for dramatic effect.
For example at first there's a long delay between the flash and the
sound, and the sound is rather distant. After a while the delay gets
noticeably shorter, which means that the storm is much closer. At some
point the delay could be just fractions of a second, the flash much
brighter and the sound much louder, and this coupled with a heavier
rain and stronger wind could make an extremely dramatic effect.
Could work well for a horror movie too.
