(It doesn't matter what Ebony and/or Obsidian is like IRL. In TES it is a metal, for it is dug from ore and melted down like any regular ore to be forged into weapons/armor. Same goes for Glass Armor, it is not made from glass. It is made from Malachite, a metal that looks like greenish-blue glass.

Lightning is pure energy, made up from charged particles. The charged particals from storm clouds attracts particles below it and they start attracting each other. They form a sort of chanel in the air and when they are close enough the particles shoot down/or up, depends on whether the charged particles in the clouds are negative or positive. The resulting flash of light from the charged particles moving is what is called lightning, it does travel at the speed of light, more or less. As lightning travels through the atmosphere it easily breaks the speed of sound and creates a sonic boom, which in turn is called Thunder. Thunder is heard after lightning strikes because light is faster than sound.

As such, Saffir would not be able to dodge any lightning coming from Kyne's storm. Also, why would she even go near the Kyrnil and the 40 Dunmer that were engulfed by the storm?)
