Why do we see lightning before we hear thunder?

Light is rapid. It travels with a speed of 300000000 kilometre per second while sound traces with a sped of just 320 metre per second. 

If a thunderstorm is far away, light arrives first. But if it bursts above our heads, we see lightning and hear thunder at the same time.
