Don't confuse yourself, just say something like "There was a lot of thunder and lightning yesterday".

Try>>>>> Yesterday there was thunder and lightning.
That is the proper way to say it i believe.

You don't. "Thunder" is a noun, and also a verb. "Lightning" is not a verb at all. If you want to make a verb out of it, you are being (take your pick) a linguistic pioneer, or an uneducated person misusing the language.
Incidentally, "lightning" has no "e" in it at all.
"Lightning" is a giant electrical spark.
"Lightening" is the act of making [something] less dark.

Lightninged would be proper
Or to get around it
We experienced thunder and lightning yesterday!

It would be easier to say "There was a storm with thunder and lightening yesterday" or "there was a thunderstorm yesterday"
I don't think Lighteninged is a word.

Add an ed to the word. Or you could say we experienced thunder and lightening yesterday and we will certainly experience lightening tomorrow.

I have always wondered also how one would say it if it is currently happening. As in:
"Yes, it is thundering and light__? outside right now."
I mean is lightninging a word?

You could say: There was thunder and lightening yesterday. It is grammatically correct, however to say "lightninged."

lightning is a noun not a verb, so there isn't a past tense to it.
