thunder crack
Storm's sharp report
A thunder crack is a sudden, sharp burst of thunder—the explosive sound that follows lightning, especially when close and intense.
Unlike the prolonged rumble of distant thunder, a crack is abrupt and startling: A thunder crack made everyone jump.
The phrase emphasizes the violent, splitting quality of the sound.
