Lightning is an electric discharge, not electricity. There is a difference. Lightning happens once, and uses up many gases and things in the air, which is why it almost never strikes the same exact spot twice. Electricity can follow the same current forever, is much cooler, and does not burn away the same gaseous elements as Lightning.
Thus, they are not the same thing. That is why writers are on crack, these guys aren't scientists, they don't know these things, they just say "She controls weather? Lightning out the hands!" which isn't the same thing as an electrical current, which is what she does.
Do you know what glassine fragments are? Do you know what Glassine is? The writer who that effect up is on crack. Glassine is man-made, it's a substance they use with paper to preserve art and shit. It prevents the passage of air and grease. So, now clouds contain fragments of glassine paper? No, they don't. That writer was really stupid to say that. Glassine is made out of freaking tree pulp. What the hell is it doing in the clouds?
A lot of what Storm does is complete bullshit that writer's make up because they lack something better to let her do, because if all she did was manipulate the weather like she's supposed to, she wouldn't be half as powerful as she is.
