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.
Tornadoes which is basically an extension of the updraft that reaches to the ground but only occurs in rotating super cells.
Land spouts: Weak tornadoes that occur outside of the storms updraft. Can still be damaging
Water spouts: Weak tornadoes that occur on water. Can be strong or weak.
Gustnadoes: When the downdraft of the storm reaches the ground, it pushes outwards and creates wind gusts, that occasionally whip up "dust devil" like whirlwinds.
