Question
If one sees lightning and the time has passed since seeing the lightning or hearing the thunder, should one bless?
Answer
One should no longer bless, and the blessing is lost, but one may bless if they see more lightning or hear thunder again.
Source
Although according to the Taz one can bless, nevertheless, the Mishnah Berurah (Siman 227, Se'if Katan 12) rules that the measure of the blessing is only within the time frame. Azmera Leshimcha (79-80)
