A tornadic thunderstorm is most likely to develop over the Great Plains.
Men are more likely to be struck because they are more likely to be outside during a thunderstorm doing yardwork, golfing, etc
Yes
Yes - it is rare.Ways you can die from a thunderstorm:Hit by lightning - which is rareCaught in a flash flood - rare (for one thing, you have to be in an area prone to flash floods AND be there at just the right time during a thunderstorm)Hypothermia from being outside and getting drenched during the thunderstorm and not getting dried out for many hours. This is the most likely way to die related to a thunderstorm - and how many people have you heard of dying this way? Obviously this is really uncommon and yet it is more common than the other ways - which tells you just how rare it is to die from a thunderstorm.
A thunderstorm would never result from an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause fires by breaking gas lines and electrical wires, but there is no mechanism by which an earthquake could cause a thunderstorm.
every type of thunderstorm
A tornadic thunderstorm is most likely to develop over the Great Plains.
After a thunderstorm,especially in areas where such thunderstorms are not expected to happen and hence high surface run off, causing flash floods.
A supercell is the kind of thunderstorm most likely to produce a tornado.
it is dangerous to shelter under a tree during a lightning storm because the tree is likely to be hit so it will fall on you and you'll get squashed.

Most likely it is because it is common for large numbers of sheep and other livestock to be left outside during a thunderstorm.
A tornado is most likely to be produce from a type of thunderstorm called a supercell.
yes.
A tornado/thunderstorm watch means that weather conditions are good for tornado/thunderstorm. A tornado/thunderstorm warning, however, means that conditions are extreme and a thunderstorm or tornado is likely. Conditions for either storm are very good at this stage.
