The discharge of electricity built up during a storm can be dangerous. It is a static discharge that is generated by positive an negatively charged clouds. When these clouds come in close contact with each other there is an electrical static discharge. This is known as lightning.

What name of which clouds crashing together make thunder?
Clouds do not make thunder, clouds produce lightning. The lightning heats up the surrounding air causing loud blasts of thunder.
Which is stronger lighting or thunder?
Thunder is the sound that lightning makes when it strikes so it isn't possible to answer this question. Lightning is a reaction to rising heat from the earth's surface combining with cold air in the clouds. This creates a negatively charged bolt of electricity which streaks through the clouds, and around 20% of this electricity will "attack" a positively charged item, usually on the ground. Since lightning is faster than the speed of sound, it breaks the sound barrier making a sound we call thunder.
