Who was the first man to call a thunderstorm that?
It couldn't have been that long ago...

Who said it was a man? Hmmmm?

Another reason to grab those handbags.

I heard it called an electrical storm -- West Virginia in the 1950s.

Electric, adj., goes back to 1646.(The Barnhart Concise Dictionary of Etymology by Robert K. Barnhart (HarperCollins Publishers, New York, 1995.)
