During a thunderstorm, lightning strikes can cause fires and even death if someone is struck by it. Thunderstorms can produce hail that damages the roofs of buildings and cars. Thunderstorms also cause flash flooding with creeks and rivers overflowing their banks, causing enormous property damage as vehicles, buildings and boulders wash away.
