I'm guessing that the usage of the title was in reference to Bohemian Rhapsody. It was literally the first thing I thought of when I read the title (had the song in my head all day yesterday as a results), and as others have mentioned it in this thread, it seems I wasn't the only one.
So you'd have to go to Queen if there is a dispute with the thread title. They coined the phrase.

"Lightning"'s uncountable, innit?
You wouldn't say "thunderbolts and lightnings", any more than you'd say "peaches and creams."

Cool picture.
That storm was crazy. The thunder shook my entire house a couple of times.

The storm was about 3pm; by 5pm it was a sunny day again.
I was treated to a spectacular hailstorm from the office window.

"Lightning bolts", yes. Wanted to point that out, but thought I'd done enough English teaching for one post : )
Still, the song is still pretty excellent stuff....
