What causes continuous rolling thunder when no lightning visible?

Asked by triguard (13points) January 13th, 2011

Thunder is caused by the rapid expansion of super-heated air as electrical spark passes through. What causes the long (ie some several seconds) of rumbling when no lightning is visible even at night during tropical downpours?
