Here are 3 ways in which the wrath of God is revealed through Thunder and Lightning
Destruction and Judgment
Throughout the Bible, thunder and lightning are associated with God's judgment upon sinful cities and nations. They serve as a warning of impending disaster and divine punishment
Divine Presence
Thunder and lightning often accompany God's direct presence or the manifestation of His power. They symbolize His awesome might and the reverence we should have for Him
Cleansing and Renewal
Thunderstorms and lightning can also represent a purifying force, washing away wickedness and initiating a new beginning. They signify God's desire to cleanse His people and bring about spiritual transformation
Rev. 10:4 And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.”
I told my kids that it is Thor moving the furniture. Hah ha. they knew I was telling a fib.
They told their younger siblings that Thor was cleaning the old pots out of the kitchen, throwing them off the clouds. And now the kids are adults, and tell me about that funny family thing.
We are actually Christians, and are aware of biblical symbolism, just saying for context. Note that the Bible references speak of 7 thunders, not just one. There are older religions that see thunder as the Gods doing somehing, and it was fun to tell my kids a nonsense, just as we were saying nah, Santa ain't real, always from the get-go. And I am happy to hang a little holly, but not an entire tree full of nonsense.

Also, the cleansing aspect has something to do with Ozone (O3) levels which are raised in the rainwater that accompanies the thunder.
Heightened oxygen, essentially, like a blessing.

Thank you. Every day I wonder...have I been living under a rock?
It's fun though.
