Yes. There are a number of ways thunderstorms can kill. Lightning can kill people either directly through electrocution or indirectly by starting fires. The heavy rain from a thunderstorm can produce flash flooding, which is one of the most common causes of weather-related death. Severe thunderstorms can produce dangerous strong winds that can topple trees and knock over some weak or unanchored structures, potentially crushing people. Thunderstorms are also the cause of the most violent form of weather: tornadoes.
