Why are thunder storms usually accompanied by lighting and thunder?

They ALWAYS happen together. The lightning you see is an electrical discharge from ice crystals rubing together in clouds. This makes an almighty crack sound, and a bright light is observed. You hear the thunder after you see the lightning because sounds travels slower than light. But in fact, the sound and the light came to be at the same time. The further away you are from the strom the larger the delay between seeing the light and hearing the sound is.

Why is Thunder Bay named Thunder Bay?

Thunder Bay is named after the nearby Thunder Bay, a large bay on Lake Superior. The name is derived from the Anishinaabe term "giiwedin," meaning "the place of the thunder," which refers to the thunderous sound of the waves crashing against the rocky shoreline, particularly during storms. The area was historically significant for Indigenous peoples and later became important for trade and transportation. The city itself was formed in 1970 through the amalgamation of two towns, Port Arthur and Fort William.
