Likely the answer is because as a northern, sea-faring people, the Vikings were definitely exposed to many, many thunderstorms, and anyone who's seen a thunderstorm knows that such a natural occurrence is extremely powerful and terrifying in some circumstances. Like the Greeks, the Celts, and any other ancient pantheon, a need to describe why such a deadly thing existed was needed. Because the ancients didn't have modern science, they came up with gods such as Zeus, Jupiter, Thor, etc.
