Question
Heard thunder and immediately saw lightning, and has not yet blessed for the thunder. Should he recite the blessings for lightning and thunder separately?
Answer
The Mishnah Berurah writes that one should bless 'Oseh Ma'aseh Bereshit' for both together. And if he blessed 'Shekocho Ugevurato' for both, he has fulfilled his obligation.
