Thunder does not make a thunderstorm. It is the other way around. Thunderstorms from from towering cumulonimbus clouds powered by rising air currents called updrafts. Collisions between ice crystals and water droplets within a storm cause static charges to build up, which are then separated by air currents. These charges are then released int he form of lightning. The lightning superheats the air, causing it to expand rapidly, creating a shockwave we hear as thunder.
