Heat lightening is a myth. Its just so far away that the sound doesnt travel.

We watched (with a glass of wine, of course) for about 30 minutes from our west-facing lanai and also kept an eye on radar. There was a cell that hung out to the northwest that started to creep our way but must have stayed north. We heard the thunder sound closer about 11, but nothing ever materialized here.

But it was a great show..
