Thunderstorms, generally, can last anywhere from 30 minutes up to several hours. Thunderstorms cannot sustain themselves much longer because as the storm releases the precipitation, it cools the air and loses it's power. The atmospheric conditions that caused the storm rapidly change due to wind and temperature shifts.

The biggest storm in the world is a typhoon called Typhoon Tip.
A thunderstorm typically goes through four stages: cumulus stage (initial development of updrafts), mature stage (strongest updrafts and downdrafts, heavy precipitation, lightning, and possibly hail), dissipating stage (weakening of updrafts and downdrafts), and the final stage (dissipation of the storm).

A thunderstorm does not strike anything, it is "lightening" that does that.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
No. A thunderstorm is a weather event.
