No, thunderstorms do not typically go in circles. Thunderstorms exhibit vertical and horizontal movement driven by atmospheric conditions, such as wind patterns and temperature gradients.

What type of energy source did the first Melbourne's trams run on?
The first electric tram operated between Box Hill and Doncaster from 1889 to 1896 when it was abandoned.

What does it mean if you see a flash of lightning and clap of thunder at almost the exact same time?
Just for fun: If you see a clap of thunder, call a journalist! More seriously, if you see a flash of lightning and hear a clap of thunder at almost the same exact time, it means that the electrical discharge that generated both the lightning and the thunder is very close to you, and you should take precautions immediately to avoid injury to yourself. Usually, the most practical precaution is to seek shelter in a building protected by lightning rods or a metal vehicle that will conduct electricity around you more readily than through you!
How do you prevent yourself from being struck by lighting?
The obvious answer is stay indoors during a thunder and lightning storm. But, if caught outdoors don't shelter under a single tree in a large open area. Or under the tallest tree in a forest. If on the summit of a bare hilltop, kneel down (in a trench, hollow or drain, if possible) and cover your head with your arms and keep your head close to the ground (this advice is from a survival book). When, several years ago, I was caught is a severe thunder and lightning storm, while wild camping on very high ground in North Wales, I simply lay as flat in my tent and kept my fingers crossed as lightning flashed for several minutes (it seemed longer!) around me. One thing to avoid is to carry on playing golf!
Is the storm prediction center going to upgrade the slight risk to MDT for tornadoes April 6th 2014?
Probably not, though it probably can't be ruled out either. Typically, when a moderate risk outlook has been issued, the previous outlook had a relatively large area under a higher degree of slight risk (such as a 10% outlook for tornadoes). The 10% tornado outlook in this case is not that large, but again, an upgrade to the outlook probably can't be ruled out.
That said, even if a moderate risk outlook is not issued, the SPC has mentioned the potential for strong tornadoes, and violent tornadoes have occurred under similar circumstances.
SPC outlooks should be taken with a grain of salt, as a slight variation in weather conditions can make a significant difference in how an event will play out.
How does lightning outside make the house seems more delicate?
Lightning outside tends to make a house seem more delicate because there will sometimes be power surges or other anomalies that will make it seem like the house won't hold up in a storm. Lightning makes a person feel less in control of their environment, therefore making it seem like even their house isn't safe.

Is it safe to fish in the middle of a scattered thunderstorm?
No, it is not safe to fish in the middle of a scattered thunderstorm. Lightning poses a significant danger, and being on or near water increases the chances of getting struck. It is best to seek shelter indoors and wait until the storm passes before resuming any outdoor activities.
