Thunder is our name for the sound made by lightning. The reason there is (usually) a delay between when you see the bolt of lightning and hear the thunder is that light travels more quickly than does sound. This is the reason that you can count seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder to figure out how close the lightning is to you. When the lightning is closer to you, the sound doesn't take as much time to travel to your ears and thus the gap between the lightning and thunder is shorter. So you can't see thunder because it's merely a sound - but you can see the source of that sound.
At the end of the story the sound of thunder is the whole impact of the differences that have influenced the world and society because of the tragic mistake Eckles did, of killing the butterfly. So then Travis kills Eckles because of his big mistake, that seemed to be all his fault. The sound at the end comes from the shot.
Oh, dude, hyperbole is like when you exaggerate stuff to make a point, right? So, in "A Sound of Thunder," there's this line that goes, "The sign on the wall seemed to quaver under a film of sliding warm water." It's like saying the sign's so scared, it's sweating bullets or something. Like, chill out, sign, it's just a little time travel mishap.

Unless you have a heart attack from the loud sound of thunder i wouldn't think so however lighting can be very dangerous and could certainly result in death.

Thunder is just noise, so no. No to rain, too, unless the appliance is outdoors. Lightning, which causes thunder, could be dangerous to appliances with delicate electronics in them.
It could be. The light from the flash travels much more quickly than the sound waves that make up the thunder. So a longer time between them indicates that the lightning is farther away. If the thunder is immediate, you are very close to the lightning!
Thunder i guess but lightning make a sound of thunder so it would probably be both!
i hope soon its a horrible thing
Light travels faster than sound, so when lightning strikes, the light is seen immediately while the sound takes time to reach our ears. The delay in hearing the thunder allows us to calculate the distance of the storm based on the time difference between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder.
well, if your far away then no. you wouldn't be able to hear the thunder. if how ever, you are close to the thunder storm you will hear thunder.

Yes. Thunder is the sound of lighting hitting the ground. Light travels much faster than sound so you see the lighting first and hear the thunder afterwards. If you see the lighting and hear the thunder right after, then you are closer to wear the lighting struck.
Thunder as a noun is a sound produced by lightning, so it normally has no plural form. Occurrences at two separate times or places would remain "thunder."
