Origin
[edit]Original coinage of the phrase? I assume it was the American Indian? Drutt (talk) 02:38, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
- A common description of the sound of loud or reverberating thunder. OED cites a use as early as 1652.--ShelfSkewed Talk 04:33, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
- Rolling thunder is different from regular thunder in that regular thunder can be a crack, a boom, or a short rumble of a few seconds, but rolling thunder is a continuous rumble that lasts minutes or even more than an hour without a single interruption. — al-Shimoni (talk) 19:18, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
Ride or run to (or for) the wall

- "Ride to the Wall" (Fox DC)
- "Run For The Wall" (rftw.org)
