Well, darling, the worst killer in a thunderstorm is actually lightning. It's like Mother Nature's own little electric shock therapy. So, if you hear thunder, you better hightail it indoors before you become a crispy critter. Stay safe out there, honey!
Yes, there is a rating system for thunderstorms called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) which rates the intensity of tornadoes spawned by thunderstorms. The scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). Additionally, the Storm Prediction Center issues severe storm watches and warnings based on the potential for severe thunderstorms to occur.
The type of cloud that produces thunderstorms is called a cumulonimbus cloud. These clouds are large, towering clouds that can reach high altitudes and are associated with heavy rainfall, thunder, lightning, and sometimes hail.
The formation of intense tornadoes requires supercell thunderstorms, which are the most powerful and long-lasting type of thunderstorm. Supercells have a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone that can produce the conditions necessary for tornado formation.
Yes, thunderstorms are a common environment for tornado formation. Tornadoes can form when warm, moist air rises rapidly within a thunderstorm, creating a rotating updraft. If the conditions are right, this rotation can intensify and touch the ground as a tornado.
A long line of severe thunderstorms is called a squall line. Squall lines are often associated with strong winds, heavy rain, lightning, and sometimes tornadoes. They can produce widespread damage as they move across a large area.
Lightning is often considered the most deadly aspect of a thunderstorm, as it can strike and injure or kill individuals. Additionally, flash flooding caused by heavy rainfall during thunderstorms can also be a significant threat to life and property.
Tornadoes are called a thunderstorm's worst killer.

Such thunderstorms are called supercells.
Violent thunderstorms are called supercell thunderstorms. These storms are characterized by rotating updrafts and have the potential to produce severe weather such as large hail, damaging winds, tornadoes, and heavy rainfall.
A tornado is called a killer if it kills somebody.
