thundered
Made deafening noise
Thundered is the past tense of thunder.
Thunder is the sound that follows lightning, so to thunder is to produce a deep, resonant boom: Cannons thundered across the valley.
More often, thundered describes forceful speech—shouting with authority or anger: Get out! he thundered.
Things that move heavily may also thunder: The horses thundered past.
