Yoda felt the residual pushback of it after. This proves he can't just easily redirect anything and it all depends on the power of the attack in question.
^No matter how hard you try to abc logic your way through this a 3-4 second attack ko'd him. Canon. Happened. Deal with it.
^Yoda was also hit by an attack far below human standards. Quit just arguing based on on selective showings. That's what fanboys do. Yoda was barely on screen. He had two major fights and was ko'd in one and failed to put down an inferior opponent in the other. Laughable.
We're talking about the reactions to catch the attack, not the power.
Your single example of a '3 second reaction time' is being caught offguard with the force lightning. CIS as we see Yoda catch force lightning, so like that human punching example Yoda in in that range.
One feat doesn't negate all the other times Yoda reacts to faster things. That doesn't mean we only discuss his lowest feat while ignoring the rest. Basically this.
-Yoda is hit by Force Lightning when caught off-guard, a CIS moment.
+Yoda catches Force Lightning when focused
+Yoda catches other things thrown at him
+Yoda dodges things thrown at him
+Yoda moves and jumps around at a speed unobtainable by any human
+Yoda fights with a Lightsaber at speed unobtainable by any human
+Nearly all force users show speed and reactions to do the above. Yoda's at the top of the list as only few could match him in combat
+Padawan's can deflect supersonic blasters. Yoda is above any Padawan.
CIS moment that gets countered in the same scene vs dozens of fast showings.

When did it state in the movie that they were weak to fire ? Do you ever listen to yourself ? It's more powerful than the force lightning. Quit dancing around it. It isn't the strongest attack we have seen either in the movies. I am comparing his most powerful attack and it shits all over an attack that barely ko'd a forty pound senior citizen animal. We see Mr. Weasley completely disintegrate a foe showing even she shits all over Palpatine's lightning.
"However, like many creatures that dwell in cold and darkness, they fear light and warmth, which we shall therefore call to our aid should the need arise. Fire, Harry"Why is it more powerful? The only thing we see it do is defeat Inferi.. creatures that were already being beaten by Harry's weaker, non-EW powered spells. We need to know how powerful it is.
The Disintergration/Reductor spell, which is use after the spell that makes an audible cracking sound come from Bellatrix. A combo. And you're ignoring the part about who it effects. The fire spell is used on weak Inferi, her combo on a person with a human body.. the force lightning damages and knocks out beings with durability and stamina far above any human.

Luke walked away after Palptine said he was going to kill him. That's a direct statement and he was under the duress for probably well over thirty seconds. Awful. Watch the scene again because I am not even discussing the torture blasts just the I am going to kill you now blasts.
Its still torture, Force Lightning has been used as torture several times in the verse. The very fact that he can move after, when we know that weaker Force Lightning (Dooku) is able to defeat characters in one hit, proves that it was torture. Unless you believe that Luke can tank far more than every other Jedi, or that Palpy's lighting is weaker than Dooku's.
As said, these characters are far more durable than regular humans. A human can sustain a great injury from falling merely 10ft, while a damaged Yoda can be hit with a force blast, fall 70ft and just get up and walk away showing no injures.
Luke can take amputation, he falls to non-fatal lightning.
