Around 26.2 seconds. Since the sound of thunder travels approximately 340.33 meters per second
340.33 x 5 = 1.701.65
1 mile = 1,609,34 Meters
1.701.65 x 5 = 8.508.25
1.609.34 goes into 8.508.25 5 times, and leaves the remainder 461.55
461.55 - 340.33 = 121.22
5 x 5 +1.2 = 26.2
so about 26.2 seconds
Hope this helps :)
and Please correct me if I am wrong.

What is stronger lightning or thunder?
Thunder i guess but lightning make a sound of thunder so it would probably be both!
How much time does it take thunder to get to you from a lightning strike 5 miles away?
About 25 seconds. It's closer to 23, but 5 seconds per mile is the general rule of thumb.
Why is thunder associated by lightning?
Lightning heats up the air and the heated expanding air causes the thunder sound. You can estimate how far away the lightening was by counting seconds after the flash, 6 seconds to a mile away.thunder is the sound of lightning after the lightning strike occurs
How do you calculate lightning distance?
Start counting when you see lightning. Stop counting when you hear thunder. Divide the seconds by 5. Example: You count 19 seconds. 19 divided by 5 would mean the lightning you seen was approximately 3.8 miles away. If you count 30 seconds or less, don't go outside.
Would you hear thunder or see lighting first?
Even though the lightning and thunder occur at roughly the same time, you would see a distant strike before you would hear it, because the light travels to you about 882 thousand times as fast as the sound does.

Does thunder hit houses?
Lightning can strike houses during a thunderstorm, but thunder itself is simply the sound produced by the rapid expansion and contraction of air surrounding a lightning bolt. It is not the lightning strike itself, so thunder does not directly hit houses.
Why do you not hear thunder right away?
If you mean hearing thunder right after a lightning, it is because sound travels slower than light, and thus, you would hear the thunder a bit later than seeing a lightning strike.
How much time does it take thunder to get to you from a lightning strike 5 miles away?
About 25 seconds. It's closer to 23, but 5 seconds per mile is the general rule of thumb.
Does lightning only strike during thunderstorms?
Yes, lightning typically occurs during thunderstorms when there is a buildup of static electricity in the atmosphere. However, lightning can also strike outside of thunderstorms in certain conditions like volcanic eruptions, intense wildfires, or powerful dust storms.
What would it mean if there were many seconds in between the flash of lightning and the roar of thunder?
If there are many seconds between the flash of lightning and the roar of thunder, it indicates that the storm is far away. Each second of delay between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder represents a distance of about 1 mile between you and the lightning strike.

What are the similarities of thunder and lightning?
No, the two are quite different. The main difference is lightning is light, thunder is sound. Lightning is an electric charge that can come from a cloud for various reasons. Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, lightning comes first, thunder second.

What would happen if thunder hit you?
Thunder is sound waves. Sound waves hit us all of the time. If you mean lightning, then you would be toast... literally! thunder is the sonic boom produced by lighting so depending on how close you are to the lightning strike if you're close enough it can lead to temporary deafness or worse.
