How would you translate tonne boule m in English?

Tonnè boule'm (or Tonnè kraze'm) → Thunder strike me! Lightning strike me!
Some people swear by the temple, some swear by Allah, but most Haitians swear by lightning.
You'll find that Haitians who casually or deceitfully swear by lightning get really nervous when it starts raining.  They would take refuge indoors until the rain passes.
