I believe it's because of an old belief that if you hear thunder, you must cover your belly button or else the god of thunder will eat it.
In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," the children used potato sacks with holes cut out for their heads as makeshift raincoats during a rainstorm. They did not have proper raincoats, so they had to make do with what they had.
After the children dig the hole in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," they inadvertently cause a logging truck to crash into the school bus, resulting in multiple injuries and eventually leading to TJ's wrongful imprisonment. The incident also escalates racial tensions and sets the stage for further conflicts in the story.
Mama lost her teaching job in "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" because she stood up to a white school bus driver who mistreated her children. The driver retaliated by spreading false rumors about Mama in the community, leading to her dismissal.

Its because the book has too many racism back in the day getting whiped at school beating up while cheating while your not.
In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," the walk to school becomes more challenging and dangerous with the rains due to the muddy and slippery road conditions.

I can always hear thunder in thunder and lightning, everyone can, except for deaf people of course because they can't hear anything.
