Ripples in the atmosphere? Sure.
Ripples in gravity? Sounds very doubtful
Basically I think they are trying to say that thunderstorms seem to impact the atmosphere and generate turbulence to a distance further than what we currently think. Sounds reasonable.
Thunderstorms affecting gravity? Only the quantum theorists can answer that.
