∙ 13y agoNothing, thunderstorms are usually formed when there is lightning, when you can see lightning AND hear the thunderstorm, it means you are within range of having a chance to be stricken by the lightning. Thunderstorms have no effect, they just give a sound, perhaps to warn people that there is lightning. And some people are scared of the booming noise that thunder makes.
