Contrary to popular belief thunder actually comes first. You just happen to see lightning before you hear the thunder because the speed of light is faster.

Thunder and lightning happen at approximately the same time, but as you have heard, lightning travels faster than thunder (even though it is moving a supersonic speeds) and thus we see the flash before we hear the thunder.

The lightning zaps through the air, then, when it has spent its energy it leaves a "hole", and the air rushes in to fill that gap, and that produces the "thunder" that you hear.
I wish you well..
