Feeling sort of inspired today, so going to have a few extra riddles. 1000 points to first correct answer - good luck!!
A clear sign that there a storm,
and almost always true to form,
when you hearing me clashing,
soon you'll see the lightning flashing.
Good luck!

thunder
But you don't hear thunder before lighting. It's known for coming after it.
I have no ideas.

wind
Wind is always before a storm(though wind dosnt mean tehre is a storm so this line is off....)
there is no other form of wind
wind whitles and makes sound
comes before lightning

I realize that the thunder comes after the lightning. However, you don't always see the lightning when the storm is far off: you usually hear its thunder as it approaches though.

thunder 1000 points to Tomoshibi.
This fits the riddle.
Two explanations for this: One is that the event of thunder and lightning happen at the same time, but because light travels faster than sound you see the lightning first.
The second explanation is that lightning causes thunder. In any event, I can't recall a storm that just had one lightning or thunder clap, which would fit the riddle. They both go hand in hand.
when you hearing me clashing,
soon you'll see the lightning flashing
But the point is, unless you're in the lightning, the thunder will come after the lightining. The thunder won't come first.
Congrats, Tomoshibi.
