Last time I checked lightning can do more than move mass, it can rip it to shreds.
Lightning is massive voltage and lots of amps as well. All that is a LOT of heat as all forms of energy create heat. The thunder is the atmosphere slapping back together after the lightning has had the force to push it out of the way. In short, MASSIVE amounts of energy. A human that lived to 100 and was active all his life could not generate that much power in a lifetime of work.

It takes energy to move anything. The old, "objects at rest remain at rest" bit. To move a feather or a dust bunny a millimeter requires energy. To move a solid object like a door, requires a lot more energy.
