ftp.uga.edu

To utter violent denunciation.

ftp.uga.edu

To emit with noise and terror; to utter vehemently; to publish, as a threat or denunciation.

ftp.uga.edu

The noise made by an electric discharge (lightning) from charged raindrops in a cloud to another cloud (or other part of the same cloud) or to the earth, or to the air surrounding the charged cloud. Sound travels 1 mile in about 5 seconds, while the lightning flash is seen almost as soon as it occurs, hence the interval of time between the two will give the distance from the observer.

navis.gr

The audible sound waves produced as a lightning discharge heats, and expands, a conducting column of air.

wrh.noaa.gov

The loud booming sound associated with a lightning strike. A lightning strike rapidly heats a column of air (to conduct the charge) which expands outwards. This expansion results in a compression wave in the air which we hear as thunder. The "rolling thunder" sound is a result of the thunder echoing off surrounding hills and buildings, and also the thunder originating from sections of the lightning stroke at different distances from the observer. A good rule of thumb to tell how far away a storm is to count the seconds between seeing a lightning strike and hearing the thunder from it. Divide this number by three to tell approximately how many kilometres away the storm is.

to make or produce a loud noise; "The river thundered below"; "The engine roared as the driver pushed the car to full throttle"

The sound caused by air expanding, following a flash of lightning.

skystef.be

the sound that follows a flash of lightning and is caused by sudden expansion of the air in the path of the electrical discharge

4wx.com

is the sound that results from lightning. A lightning bolt produces an intense burst of heat which makes the air around it expand explosively, producing the sound we hear as thunder. Since light travels faster than sound, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder. The difference in time between the two can tell us how far away the clouds producing the lightning and thunder are.

wchstv.com

The sound produced by lightning discharges.

216.87.159.39

The sound caused by a lightning stroke as it heats the air and causes it to rapidly expand.

ggweather.com

The sound that is emitted by the rapidly expanding gases along the path of the electrical discharge of lightning.

farmersalmanac.com

A sharp or rumbling sound which accompanies lightning. It is emitted by rapidly expanding gases along the channel of a lightning discharge.

ajc.com

The sound emitted by rapidly expanding gases along the channel of a lightning discharge. Over three-quarters of lightning's electrical discharge is used in heating the gases in the atmosphere in and immediately around the visible channel. Temperatures can rise to over 10,000 Â°C in microseconds, resulting in a violent pressure wave, composed of compression and rarefaction. The rumble of thunder is created as one's ear catches other parts of the discharge, the part of the lightning flash nearest registering first, then the parts further away.

weather.com

The sound caused by the shock wave from a narrow channel of air heated by lightning to around 28,000°C

piercecollege.com

Sound created when lightning causes the rapid expansion of atmospheric gases along its strike path.

physicalgeography.net

Thunder is, even today, not completely understood by modern science. The word usually describes a sonic shock wave caused by the rapid heating and expansion of the air surrounding and within a bolt of lightning. The bolt changes the air into plasma and it instantly explodes, causing the sound known as a thunder clap.

Thunder are an English hard rock band, who originally formed in 1989 when Terraplane broke up, leaving lead singer Danny Bowes and guitarist/main songwriter Luke Morley to form a new band, namely Thunder. Retaining drummer Gary James (popularly known as 'Harry' James) from Terraplane, they completed the line-up with bassist Mark 'Snake' Luckhurst and guitarist/keyboard player Ben Matthews. They were signed with EMI after performing a demo audition in 1989, and soon began recording their first album Backstreet Symphony.
