this is crazy
the Bible teaches no such thing, the thunders and lightenings were from God Himself
Wood's Hole Scientists research all this years ago - including the possibility that the volcano that erupted on Santorini could have been the source of the pillar of smoke by day, fire by night - and when it blew - sucked the sea water back from the water in the Red Sea - etc..
All that said: I believe that GOD uses his OWN methods/material within the natural world - that HE, after all, created.
Back 3,000+ years ago, people didn't have the knowledge to understand - only witness and believe God was doing it...which He was ... only while giving Moses the heads up ahead of each "miracle"
And, BTW, TheWillardHotel I reserve MY right to believe God operates with the physical laws of the Universe - that HE created.
And I believe YOU have the right to YOUR beliefs - but you may not know any more than I. or others know?
