Does lightning and thunder happen at the same time?

Yes, in fact it is fairly common for landfalling hurricanes to produce tornadoes. Often times on the northeast side of a hurricane (in northern hemisphere) there will be small tornadoes embedded within the rain bands. A perfect example is across South Carolina on Sept 7, 2004. Hurricane Frances hit along the gulf coast and moved up through Georgia. South Carolina got on the northeast side of the hurricane and over 40 tornadoes touched down in the state on that day directly caused by the outter rain bands of Hurricane Frances.
