I don't think there is a second name for a thunderstorm. i am not sure
There are many different types of violent windstorms including tornadoes, microbursts, derechos, and hurricanes.
A rotating thunderstorm is also known as a supercell.
A supercell.
The second stage during a thunderstorm is the mature stage. During this stage, updrafts continue to strengthen, causing the storm to reach its peak intensity, with heavy rainfall, strong winds, hail, lightning, and thunder.

A thunderstorm does not strike anything, it is "lightening" that does that.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
The approximate distance of a thunderstorm can be calculated by counting the number of seconds between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder and dividing by 5. Since sound travels at about 1,100 feet per second, a three-second delay indicates the thunderstorm is approximately 2,200 feet away, or about 0.42 miles.
The name given to a towering cloud that has not fully developed into a thunderstorm is a cumulus congestus cloud. These clouds are large, puffy clouds with vertical growth, indicating instability in the atmosphere.
A small storm that forms when a thunderstorm meets high-altitude horizontal winds is called a microburst. It is a localized column of sinking air within a thunderstorm, which can produce strong winds at the surface.
