There is rain animation.

Why not a lightning animation, briefly showing everything even during the night, and play it very infrequently during thunderstorms?

Because lightning was turned off 'cause it sucked. If it was still on, I imagine it would have an animation, heh.

With “sucked” you mean “used to set everything on fire” ?

No, no, if it set everything on fire that would have been fine. The problem was it only sent YOU on fire, so a thunderstorm meant “get as far away from everything I value as possible if I don’t want it to all burn down”.
