There characteristics of thunderstorms are:

Moderate to damaging winds caused by the storms up and down drafts.

Heavy rain.

Hail caused by strong updrafts

Lightning caused by electrical imbalances between the storm and the ground, another cloud or the surrounding atmosphere.

Thunder caused by lightning which is extremely hot and causes the air to expand creating an audible explosion.

Land spouts: Weak tornadoes that occur outside of the storms updraft. Can still be damaging
