"donnerwetter" just means 'thunderstorm'. i think it would not be the right choice. a "nice" curse often heard in bavaria and parts of austria would be himmiherrgottsakra derived from: himmi - himmel = heaven herrgott = the lord, god sakra = short form of sacrament hope this was helpful in some way
