The zig zag line is not made by thunder but by lightning. It finds the easiest path from the cloud to earth or to another cloud and this is not always straight, it would seem. The noise of thunder is made by the air, which gets heated a lot by the lightning and expands, collapsing in again rapidly after the strike.
