Default thunderstorms?

Just came out of a pretty heavy rainstorm and I was wondering-has anyone encountered lightning/thunder in the game?

No lightning...but plenty of thunder.

Don't really miss it much.....I just imagine that it's happening where i'm not looking. Perhaps somewhere over the horizon.

I've been in around 6 "Thunder" storms but never saw any lightning even in storms that lasted for days. Got lotsa rain at times.

I've been in the rain for about a month now and I've heard thunder quite a few times. Maybe an average of once a day (I'm not usually away from the navigation screen on those long trips).
