Basically along "fault lines" , which are actually cracks in the earth. These cracks are better known as "tectonic plates", which are always moving, but way slower than you can even think about. When an earthquake happens, two tectonic plates are rubbing by each other causing vibration between the plates. This vibration is actually an earthquake that people feel and can either be a weak one, which causes minimal damage and minimal cause of death. But the heavier the vibration, stronger and deadlier earthquakes happen.

What would be the least likely result of a earthquake a fire or a thunderstorm?

The Mercalli scale would most likely be used to measure earthquake damage.
Can lightning strike wet moving car's windshield?
It could, but it would be more likely to strike a metal part.
