How to use Lightning in a sentence?

1. Clay Jordan:

   We know that, on average, a healthy forest would experience lightning strike fires about every 10 to 20 years and those fires would be low in intensity and would help burn up those excessive fuels -- keep the forest at a thin enough level so that the forest could thrive.

2. Mr.DJJR.:

   Sad to be long...thunder & lightning only happens when its raining!!!!

3. Nicolas Cage:

   We should clear the record, i read two excellent scripts, which I did think were excellent, but I think Amazon ultimately felt that it was material that had become past tense because it took so long for it to come together. They felt at one point that it was lightning in a bottle, but that point has since faded into the distance and it’s no longer relevant.

4. Steve Krantz:

   If youre going to write a good erotic scene, you have to go into details, i dont believe in thunder and lightning and fireworks exploding. I think people want to know whats happening.

5. Alexander Knyazev:

   The IRPT, acting as a legal political force, had served as a lightning rod (for dissent), deflecting radical Islam, its closure and official pressure on its members is likely to push many pious Muslims out of officially registered mosques into underground ones.
