Yes, many of them probably were. Thunder is a loud sound, and early people did not know what caused it. More than a few people in early days observed that lightning could kill people without warning. Some attributed such events to angry deities.

Can you have lightning without thunder?

Never. Thunder and lightning always come together. But you'd never know it. You always see the lightning before you hear the thunder. That's because light travels super fast, at 186,000 miles (300,000km) a second! Sound is much slower, at only about 1/5 mile (0.3km) a second. So first you see lightning, then you hear the thunder. Thunder is a result of Lightning. When hot air hits cold air it creates friction and that friction creates lightning. There is more to it than that, this is the quick version. Since light is the fastest speed you will hear the sound of thunder much later because sound is slower than light. Popular thinking will tell you that the time between lightning and thunder is the distance you are from the action. 1 second = 1 mile.
