What actually drives the storm u must understand where the energy comes from. For that we look at a pot boiling on the stove . The water is 212 deg.F. and it makes no difference to increase the energy does not make the water hotter. The reason is that each cc of water as it evaporates it absorbers 60 calories. Now when a large amount of humid air collides with a cold front u have a Storm. The 60 calories of heat is released and starts an up draft which increases the condensate rate . I think that a large amount of the lightning is generated by the huge updraft . So from 60 calories we have a Storm ,and the more rapid the condensation rate the more severe the storm.

The key ingredient that defines a thunderstorm is lightning. Since lightning creates thunder, a storm with lightning is called a thunderstorm.

Thunderstorms occur when large air masses rise quickly into the atmosphere, forming huge cumulonimbus clouds. Severe air currents inside the clouds cause water droplets and ice crystals to crash into one another continually, and the friction between these particles creates static electricity in the cloud. Over time, opposite charges build between the top and bottom of the cloud, and the bottom of the cloud and the earth. When these opposing charges become intense, a gigantic spark occurs (lightning) which jumps the gap between the cloud and the earth. The thunder accompanying lightning is the noise produced by the discharge.

There is a process. When I get angry, lightning comes out of my hands. I therefore I go to the tallest building I can find and let out the energy that is surging out of my arms. Then it creates a thunderstorm, but do I get any thanks? Nooo...
