It depends on whether you're looking for one word, or a series of words you can string together. One of the interesting things about onomatopoeia is that if you do a good enough job with it, in a piece of writing, you'll never have to mention the word "thunder" even once, for people to know what you're talking about.
"Rumble" is usually the single word I think of most often, associated with the sound of thunder. But there are lots of other words that bring to mind the sound of thunder. "Thunder" itself, for that matter, kind of sounds like thunder.
Consider the following words:
Percussion, doubled, redoubled, crashing, rolling, cascading, bomb, -- any word that has a "crashing" sound or an "explosive" sound could be evocative of thunder, in one's imagination. "Boom!" could be a one-word sound for thunder. If you are writing something, as a story or a poem, you can string a lot of "thundery" sounding words together, to get the idea across. The list above is not at all complete -- just an example of a few words that can bring the sound of thunder to mind.
