What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Oecumenius
When this was spoken, there were flashes of lightning and voices: the flashes from the heights, the voices on the earth from the awe of the flashes. And thunders and an earthquake. Either he calls an earthquake the shaking of the earth, since this too is contained among the signs of the end (Luke 21:11), or he calls an earthquake the transformation of things seen, according to what is said to the Haggai: "once more I will shake not only the heaven but also the earth and the sea and the dry land, and I will shake all the nations." …
Western Saints
Bede
And there were lightnings and voices, etc. When at the end of the world there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning (Matt. 24), very great signs will also clearly appear. But whether from the side of the good, or from the side of the wicked, or from both sides converging towards each other, it is not made sufficiently clear here. As it was done with Moses and Pharaoh's magicians.
