Since thunder is composed of sound waves, it doesn't have a voltage; it has a frequency (pitch), and an intensity (loudness) measured in decibels.
The voltage of the lightning bolt itself is proportionate to its length; by current estimates, the longest and most powerful bolts can max out at over 120 million volts.
Positive (ground-to-cloud) lightning strikes, while rarer, can be up to 10 times more powerful than the usual negative (cloud-to-ground) strikes. This is because the earth, being a far larger mass than any thundercloud, is capable of collecting a greater electrical charge in one place before discharging it upward.

Meaning or definition of voltage in a parallel circuit?
Voltage is the electrical potential that is produced by a given source (ie, a battery or a generator). The voltage is not changed by the type or number of loads on a circuit. A voltage regulator and/or transformer may change the voltage within a perticular load, but cannot change the complete circuit voltage.
