Wow. Quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever watched. As an environmental scientist I shook my head and smirked through most of it, then wondered why I sat through it. Ridiculous science aside - the plot was awful - it had potential, gratuitous destruction of the gas station near the beginning was fun to watch (medicore special effects aside), but this movie really didn't pull it off. The family storyline was completely redundant to the plot of the movie, and the acting was really sub-par.
I'm all for weather 'sci-fi' movies if they have an entertaining plot, e.g. "Twister", "Volcano", "Dante's Peak" - all somewhat 'unrealistic' weather-type movies - but all in a plot category somewhere far far above "Heaven's Fury" a.k.a. "Lightning: bolts of destruction".
The writers could have done a much better job with this movie. Truly awful in all aspects.
