For the record Yoda is described according to the AotC novelisation as turning it aside "but far from easily". In comparison to barely phasing Nox with a full blown lightning storm? Dooku shits on him yeah, and Yoda would crush him like a bug.

And what has Thanaton pulled off, exactly? He summoned lightning from the sky! And it was flashy af! Am I suppose to be impressed?Like I said, just because it's flashy doesn't mean it's powerful. You claim Dooku never did something of that mangitude, but of what mangitude was it? What did the lightning storm do? Fail to kill Nox? Dooku would succeed.
I'm simply saying that the context of each scenario is completely different. Dooku attempted to strike Yoda with lightning and failed. Of course, this is Yoda and he's the most powerful Jedi up to that point. But it's not a good measuring point. Dooku's was Force lightning, this was a Force storm. Storms aren't only flashier, they tend to be more powerful, as well, and we've never seen Dooku perform one. You also have to consider Thanaton's feat was done in an extremely powerful DS nexus. Either way, I don't think Dooku making Yoda stress a bit compares to Nox tanking the full-power of a storm conjured in one of the most powerful nexuses of its time by a member who specializes in this particular ability, tbh.
