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.

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.
