What is the difference between an electrical storm and a thunder storm? They could be the same. However, the term "electrical storm" arose from storms that had a lot of cloud-to-cloud (intercloud) and in-cloud (intra-cloud) lightning and not many cloud-to-ground strokes, resulting in not much thunder being heard. 5, record 3, English, - electric%20storm
