thunderstorms, lightning, and thunder.

In the standard atmosphere:\n\nON average the speed of sound is approximately 1100 ft per second....... so for every five seconds of delay from the flash of the lightning to the beginning of the thunder makes it (about) one mile away..

Thundershowers. It doesnt mean it will be raining thunder! It means that there will be little thunder with more rain.

There are several types of lightning, but to cut to the quick, dust in the atmosphere at the time of the storm has a lot to do with the color of lightning you see.  For instance, if a thunderstorm were to roll across the desert region of Arizona, dust will inevitabbly be kicked up by the storm and may cause the lightning to appear red or orange.  A lack of particles in the air may show up as white lightning.  (Not like the Burt Reynolds movie "White Lightning" which of course is Moonshine, but once it hits ya, you'll think you've been hit by lightning!)  The amount of precipitation in the air at the time may make it appear to be blue.  Also, hail in the clouds can have an effect on it's color too.  But whatever the color, whether it's cloud to ground or ground to cloud you can be sure of one thing, it CAN kill you.  On a side note, about 15 years ago I had a co-worker (Julio) that was working on his car and lightning struck the ground just twenty feet from him.  Of course it rattled him up a bit and a day or two in the hospital under observation was neccessary.  We were heavy equipment operators at the time (bulldozers, dumptrucks, maintainers etc.).  The day he came back to work, everybody was at the shop where we met every morning for a daily brainstorming session.  We all knew about the incident and the mechanic, a man pushing 60 years in age, interrupted us as he was working on a piece of equipment and hollered out "Hey Julio, this battery's dead, can you come over  here and hold on to the loose end of these jumper cables?" We thought it was absolutely hilarious.  That is, everybody except Julio.  I've included a link to information you may find useful.  I'm a trained weather spotter for the NWS and found this link and the links on this page most helpful.

Listening to thunder storms is actually one of my favorite ways of relaxing. I always open all the doors and windows during a thunder storm so i can hear it and not get wet.

Actually, there are 3 kinds of lightning strikes:  Cloud to cloud, Ground to Cloud and Cloud to ground.  So the answer to your question is yes.

I've seen several funnel clouds, those are an awesome and chilling sight. By the time you notice them they're pretty well-formed. Almost all of them last a few seconds and either dissipate or roll back up into the sky. We were actually involved with a real tornado three years ago, It was an F1-F2 that stayed on the ground for almost thirty miles. I heard  the siren go off in the next town, we got the kids and the dogs in the basement. My wife and I kept going outside and looking around for something more threatening than the usual oncoming thunderstorm. After about 10 minutes we heard the freight train coming and headed downstairs. The house shook enough that the dust came down from the rafters. It lasted less than thirty seconds and then a whole lot of rain came down. The tornado missed us by 200 yards. The telephone pole in the corner of my back yard was okay, the one next to it was torn out of the ground and thrown across the road. The one next to that was torn out and thrown a hundred yards. No one in my rural neighborhood was hurt, but they did wind up bulldozing and rebuilding three homes. The home across the street had the front porch torn off and thrown over the roof, exposing a large hole in the roof deck that let in enough rain to collapse most of the ceilings. The path of damage was maybe a half-mile wide. Homes outside that range did not see much damage. I was surprised that the wind was toward the tornado, not away from it. The funnel was enough of a low-pressure point to draw the air towards it at a hundred-and-some miles an hour. The broken trees have repaired themselves, the homes and farms have been rebuilt, The only lasting reminder is a lot of sheets of tin barn roof still wrapped around treetops. We're in Northern Ohio. Moderate tornado damage is at least a yearly event in the area. Huge destructive disastrous storms like they get in the plains are a rarity.

Lightning can be any color. It is reflected off things that are near it, so it could be any color.
