Strange Musings on word order

Yesterday, while heading into work, I was listening to our local classical station, KDFC. They played the Thunder and Lightening Polka by Johann Stauss Jr. It got me to thinking....

Why did the expression "Thunder and lightning" get remembered in that order? After all, we all experience lightning before the thunder.

That is all.
