It's not an outlier but since it was from a distance it isn't as impressive as someone would have though.
Toph's feat is on her profile and Iroh feat is also on his profile.(why are you even asking these questions?)

As it was pointed out many times, the distance the lightning traveled calced it in at sonic speed, despite the other evidence that this feat was hugely casual.Huesito88 said:
Zuko took lightning from a much smaller scale, Zuko was hugely confident that he could redirect real lightning, Azula was able to catch - however not redirect, real lightning, etc.

Speed = Distance/Time => Time = Distance/Speed
So even if the speed of lightning is MHS+ the distance is around 2 km so the time required for it to reach Iroh and him react to it (and move his hand) isn't that small so his speed and reactions aren't as high.

I think it will be hard to imagine without numbers. Here some number for OP to calculate.Kkapoios said:
"Slow lightning" (those are common to strike surface) speed is 200 000 m/s. Reaction time for 2000 meters is 0,01 s.
'Average lightning" (rare for "normal types" but sometimes happen) speed is 40 000 000 m/s. Reaction time for 2000 meters is 5e-5 s.
"Fast lightning" (that kind of lightning are high atmo event) speed is 140 000 000 m/s. Reaction time for 2000 meters is 1,4e-5 s.
P.S. The actual reaction time is faster since the speed of light is fixed at ~3e+8 m/s. And it need 6,7e-6 s to cross 2 km.

Average lightning speed is 400 000 m/s not 40 million

High atmo lightining are majority of lightnings and they are 40 000 000 m/s (but such speed possible for multi-strike lightning events). Those pesky lightnings that strike our surface are slowpokes.Kkapoios said:

For average lightning we use 400 000 m/s

For ATS lightnings I think... But this speed can't be applied to ATA lightnings though... If the battle take place at alts of 20-50 km. =)Kkapoios said:

What?
