Why do people are araid of thunder?

i have never heard of an adult being afraid of thunder just lightning as for a kid the sound can understandably be scary

Hello andvish, I dont like thunder because of it the sound. It is lound and scary to hear. The other thing is, I am afraid that it might struck my house and causes fire. I guess most people hate the sound.

I am frightened of lighjtning, not thunder. Naturally if all at a sudden a thunder bursts we may jerk because of the unexpected explosive noice, but a poweful lightening will frighten any sensitive person. Because we all know the consequences if lightning strikes. It may cause fire, it may damage our valuble sophisticated electrical and electronic fittings, it may kill our pet fish in the tank and eventually it may kill even us. So I am frightened of lightening.

Yea it's because of the sound backing it. I could remember when I was a child, there was a huge sound and I was so scare that I jumped and hit my head on the wall. Thanks and have a nice day.

I'm not afraid of thunder but it's the sound that shocked me that I find it irritating.

obviously its sound which plays the major factor that brings fear other than that may be bcoz of the consequences that might result which we cant withstand
