What do thunder?
Thunder, as a pressurized sound wave, can hurt your ears, scare children and animals, and set off some car alarms. Since it is caused by the rapid heating of air produced by a nearby lightning strike, it can also alert you that it is no longer safe to be outdoors: if you're close enough to hear thunder, you're close enough to be at risk. +++ . You don't actually need the adjective "pressurised" because sound IS a train of pressure waves. . As for being "at risk" (from?) because you are close enough to hear the thunder, the time to worry is when you are below the thunder-cloud and there is little interval between lightning and thunder. The sound can carry for many miles, far beyond the danger area.

Why is there lightning during thunderstorms?
There could be no Thunderstorm without Lightning. The wind cannot blow so fast as to cause thunder. Lightning is caused by electrical charged clouds getting close enough to ground to create the streak of lightning you see. The electrical jumping from cloud to ground creates the thunder.
