10 miles is a standard distance because there have been documented accounts of lightning striking from a cloud that is 10 miles away. I'll do my best to find a link and post it here when I do. I'm sure lightning can go further, but 10 miles is a regular occurrence which is why it is the threshold for most airlines/airports.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here.
