Question
Is there a connection between the blessing on thunder and the blessing on lightning?
Answer
There is no connection between the blessing on thunder and the blessing on lightning. Therefore, immediately upon seeing lightning, one blesses 'Who performs the act of creation', and afterwards, upon hearing thunder, one blesses 'Whose strength and power fill the world'. Even if one did not see lightning and only heard thunder, one blesses on it, and when later seeing lightning, one blesses on the lightning.
