Debunked: Strange Sounds in the Sky

[Ann K]

The latter is quite an experience - as I"m sure I've mentioned before, I've witnessed a very lively, but absolutely silent, thunderstorm.

I've missed that description. How far away was the storm?

I've seen storms at a distance, seemingly quite close but visible at a much greater distance than sound would carry. I've mentioned before about the one I saw, calculated the distance from the estimated height and the posted sunset time, and decided it was over Erie, PA ...about sixty miles away. The morning paper had photos of flooded streets in Erie.

That storm was so clearly visible that I'm sure storms at much greater distances could be seen.
