There could be no Thunderstorm without Lightning. The wind cannot blow so fast as to cause thunder. Lightning is caused by electrical charged clouds getting close enough to ground to create the streak of lightning you see. The electrical jumping from cloud to ground creates the thunder.

Where did Zeus get his lightning bolt from?
From the clouds during thunderstorms.
How are tornadoes and lightning related?
Tornadoes and lightning are often associated with severe thunderstorms. Lightning can occur before, during, or after a tornado is formed. Tornadoes can form within severe thunderstorms where there is intense updraft and rotation in the atmosphere, which can be fueled by lightning activity.
Why is there so much lightning during thunderstorms?
Lightning occurs during thunderstorms because of the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere. When these charges become strong enough, they are released as a bolt of lightning, which heats the air and creates the sound we hear as thunder.
How does a lightning flash begin?
in thunderstorms or lightning
Does lightning only strike during thunderstorms?
Yes, lightning typically occurs during thunderstorms when there is a buildup of static electricity in the atmosphere. However, lightning can also strike outside of thunderstorms in certain conditions like volcanic eruptions, intense wildfires, or powerful dust storms.
Do thunderstorms make lighting or thunder?
Thunderstorms actually produce lightning and the thunder is from lightning crashing and hitting something
Why can't you be in any type of water during a tornado?
Tornadoes form during thunderstorms, and so are accompanied by lightning. Being in water puts out at risk of being electrocuted by lightning.
Does lightning strike in a tornado?
Yes, lightning can occur during a tornado. It is not caused by the tornado itself, but rather the severe thunderstorm that often accompanies tornadoes. Lightning is a common occurrence in thunderstorms due to the electrical charges interacting within the storm clouds.
Which clouds are often associated with thunder and lightning?
Cumulonimbus clouds are often associated with thunder and lightning. These clouds are tall, dense, and can produce severe weather including thunderstorms, lightning, heavy rain, and even hail. They are commonly seen before or during thunderstorms.
Can lightning be near cyclones and tornadoes?
Yes. Cyclones often produce thunderstorms, and tornado occur during thunderstorms. So both are commonly accompanied by lighting.
What tornadoes cause lightning?
Tornadoes themselves do not produce lightning. Lightning is typically associated with thunderstorms, which can be present in the same weather system as tornadoes. Lightning occurs due to the separation of positive and negative charges within a thunderstorm cloud.
What day is the common day people get struck by lighting?
There isn't a common day that people get struck by lightning as it can happen anytime. However, lightning tends to be more frequent during summer months when thunderstorms are more prevalent. It's important to take precautions during thunderstorms to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.
