Who said there was a danger of lightening? Rudy just made that up as an excuse to slag off another customer in the time honoured way of airline personnel in the US. Every time it rains, there is not a danger of lightening. This made up excuse is typical of airline employees..they do it automatically regardless of the facts. Typical examples of lying knee jerk responses "the delay was due to the weather"; "someone will be available to help you at the gate"; "the gate are aware you are connecting, and your flight will be held"; "we paged you"; "we emailed the changes to you"; etc, etc, etc...
