Is that actually the thunder front travelling at the speed of sound? My understanding of how Blitzortung works (and similar sites like Lightningmaps.org) is that animation was just a visual cue to draw the eye rather than trying to replicate the time between a strike and the sound.

On lightningmaps.org yes, you can see the thunder front (if you zoom close enough).
