I think you would be in serious trouble. It means the lightening is striking right where you are.
A thunder storm is one in which a large amount of thunder is heard. Thunder is caused by lightning; it would be more correct to say that a thunderstorm only occurs with lightning strikes.
No, the two are quite different. The main difference is lightning is light, thunder is sound. Lightning is an electric charge that can come from a cloud for various reasons. Thunder is the sound made by lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, lightning comes first, thunder second.
No, as based off the definition of thunder: Noun: A loud rumbling or crashing noise heard after a lightning flash due to the expansion of rapidly heated air. It is lightning that you would be struck by. Theoretically you could be hit by the waves caused by the rapid expansion but that would be the equivalent of saying you were hit not with a grenade but with the explosion of it when that is the nature of the cause to start.
it means the storm is about 1 mile away
mostly when there is thunder or when it is raining
not if you are standing far enough away and not at all the sound of the lightning is thunder but if you were standing directly underneath it the sound would come at the exact moment of the light
If thunder and lightning occur together close to you, you are dangerously close to a lightning bolt.

Lightning heats up the air and the heated expanding air causes the thunder sound. You can estimate how far away the lightening was by counting seconds after the flash, 6 seconds to a mile away.thunder is the sound of lightning after the lightning strike occurs
it means the storm is about 1 mile away
Thunder i guess but lightning make a sound of thunder so it would probably be both!
mostly when there is thunder or when it is raining
To estimate your distance from a thunderstorm count the number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the next clap of thunder. Divide your answer by 5. See the related link below.
More thunder would be caused by more lightning.
