That's weird. I heard one a couple weeks ago that lasted over 30 seconds, probably closer to a minute. I couldn't believe it. It came out of nowhere too. Just a singular super boom (effing loud) during a drizzle, and the sound went on forever.
Probably because the bolt travelled a long way horizontally away from you. For every 5 seconds you hear it that’s how many miles away. So if you heard it rumble from the initial “SLAM” close to you, for 20 seconds the bolt was at least 4 miles long away from you. Yay physics!
Thunder and Lightning are not the same thing. Lightning causes thunder.
The light lasted 17 seconds, not the sound. It's not out of the ordinary for thunder to rumble on for a while.
Oh, I missed that it was just the light lasting that long.
