Jake,

You have to record it from different perspectives - far-field, 
mid-field, near-field - and mix all of the elements according to the 
illusion you wish to create and your taste. Best to record one that 
is not particularly thunderous. Stick to the medium ones. The 
illusion of thunder and size can be created by control of level.

More on the illusion of capturing water can be found in my recent 
book, "Wild Soundscapes: Discovering the Voice of the Natural World." 
(P. 135+)
