One way to overcome fears is to face them. Sitting by a window during a storm and watching the lightning and listening to the thunder might help you get used to it and realize that it isn't going to hurt you... that you are safe where you are. Depending on how afraid you are though, that might be hard to do.
If your anxiety is extreme, and prevents you from doing things that you want to do, you might want to try talking to a counselor about it.
Thunder and lightning occur simultaneously. We often hear the thunder after seeing the lightning due to the distance between us observers and the source of the lightning. Light travels faster than sound, so we see the lightning first and hear the sound later.
Thunder and lightning end when the storm passes and the conditions that caused them dissipate. Lightning is the visible discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, while thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of superheated air caused by lightning. Once the storm moves away and the atmospheric conditions stabilize, the thunder and lightning stop.
Start counting when you see lightning. Stop counting when you hear thunder. Divide the seconds by 5. Example: You count 19 seconds. 19 divided by 5 would mean the lightning you seen was approximately 3.8 miles away. If you count 30 seconds or less, don't go outside.
First, watch for lightning. The second it hits the ground, starts counting in seconds. Stop when you hear thunder. divide the seconds by 5 to get how many miles away the lightning is. For kilometers, divide the seconds by 3.
For a long time it was thought by many people that the number of seconds after the lightning strikes is the miles the center of the storm is from you. Although this does show how light travels faster than sound, this system is wrong. The actual method for finding the distance the heart of the storm is from you is by counting after you see lightning; and stop counting after you hear the thunder. Now, for every five seconds after the lightning struck until you hear the thunder, it is one mile away. So if ten seconds go by between lightning and thunder, the center of the storm is two miles away.

Thunder itself cannot be seen, as it is the sound created by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. However, lightning that causes thunder can be seen as a bright flash of light in the sky.
