Question
If one saw lightning and did not bless immediately, until when can they bless?
Answer
If the time 'toch k'dei dibur' has passed after seeing the lightning or hearing the thunder, one should no longer bless, and the blessing is lost. However, if they see more lightning or hear more thunder, they are obligated to bless on them.
