The control track was just a simple sound that was timed a couple of seconds before the thunder on the other track, and that was the channel that was plugged into the color organ. The actual thunder track was piped through the stereo. The result was that the lights flashed and then a second or two later, you heard the thunder... I agree that you should distress the doors (crackle, perhaps?). Maybe put a fan behind them so a gentle breeze can be felt through them. Then, if you really want to get fancy, maybe one of those gardenia air freshener plugins to give the subtle scent of tropical flowers on the breeze...
