Simplified Premises for Lightning Speed feats

 * Natural cloud - to - ground level Lightning has a speed of 200 km/s
 * The bottom of natural thunderclouds from where Lightning Bolts emerge is at least 335 meters (1100 feet) above the ground

For as long as the simplified premises are applicable for a dodging feat you're trying to analyze, use this:

 * If the defender dodged or evaded the Lightning Bolt by approximately 1 meter , his speed was ~  597 m/s ( Supersonic )
 * If the defender dodged or evaded the Lightning Bolt by approximately 2 meters, his speed was ~ 1194 m/s ( Supersonic )
 * Nevermind the exact formula I used to calculate this (of course it's infallible) -  for as long as you can (approximately) estimate the Distance in meters  " D " a defender evaded a Lightning Bolt, you can calculate a good approximation : Speed of the Defender  = D * 597 m/s
