I noticed that the Avatar: TLAB characters that use Lightning Redirection are classified at Sub-Sonic+ to Supersonic speed. Why?
It's logical to assume that in order to redirect lightning, they have to catch it first, right? Take, for example, Zuko's and Azula's Agni Kai, specifically when Azula shot lightning at Katara. Zuko jumped in front of the lightning to protect Katara. This was during Sozin's Comet, which increased it's capabilities.
I happened to find this stating that while the speed of lightning differs depending on atmospheric conditions, it typically travels at 224,000 mph: http://www.answers.com/Q/How_fast_does_lightning_travel
I also can't find anything saying generated lightning is any different than natural lightning, in fact, Iroh redirected natural lightning in "The Storm."
So, shouldn't Iroh, Zuko, and Aang be Hypersonic level?
