It's one mile for every five seconds (or if you prefer one kilometer for every three seconds). It is true that if you can hear thunder at all you are at risk for being struck by lightning. Lightning has occasionally been known to travel ten miles or more. In the USA the National Weather Service has a slogan, "When thunder roars, head indoors." I figure there are risks to everything in life, so it's a judgment call. Some of the people who feel it their public duty to quote that slogan will be the first to grab their cameras and go out in it (or even chase tornadoes).
