I got those quotes and info straight from wikipedia and from nationalgeographic.com. That's how fast lightning strikes to the ground so just no. One other source says this from their measurement of lightning speed. "The charge moves at a speed of 322 million kilometers per hour (200 million miles per hour), according to NOAA." It takes way less than even a second to strike the ground.
