Everything about Norse mythology relates to the natural world in some way. All the characters in the Eddas & Sagas; be they Aesir, men or Giants were personifications of natural forces and influences. In this case, Thor was the personification of thunder. He would strike the ground with his mighty hammer Miolnir when he was angry, producing the explosive sound we know. His arrival was heralded by lightening, which was personified by his steed. (The steeds in Norse mythology often had more than four legs & could run incredibly fast. They were also noted for breathing fire & sparks from their nostrils as they ran)
