Bolt from the Blue lightning flashes are a particularly dangerous type of lightning flash, as they appear to come out of clear sky…. Lightning can, and does, strike many miles away from the thunderstorm cloud itself. The Bible does not say exactly where on Mount Carmel the contest occurred, but Mount Carmel is at most 5—6 miles from the Mediterranean Sea. Although there were no clouds in the sky above Mount Carmel, clouds were probably already forming above the sea.
Hence the miracle on Mount Carmel could be a prime example of a hypernatural miracle. It utilized a natural phenomenon that is rare yet common enough to be observed and measured. It appeared immediately after the prayer of the prophet Elijah which, when compared to the lengthy prayers of the prophets of Baal, would represent a very narrow window of opportunity.
This miracle answered the question as to the identity of the true God. As it turned out, the true God, Yahweh, controlled the very forces of nature. That same God remains Lord over all creation and he invites his creatures; namely humans, to learn of his power, love, and glory.

They constantly criticised the ancient monasteries of Ireland — Armagh, Clonmacnoise and others — that they believed to be corrupt.
This aggressiveness matched with an interest in lightning may explain one of the most mysterious sentences ever written in Irish. On 20 November AD a special meeting was held. As to the fire from heaven, there is no definite proof that the Assembly was connected to the lightning-mad Tallaght Movement.
Fire From Heaven
But the evidence is suggestive. First , the council was held on the feast of St Michael, a favourite day of the Movement. Second , the members of the council were full of woe. Again this corresponds with the Tallaght Movement that continually criticised a sinful mankind. Third , in this period, the Movement was involved with another council that is recorded in the Irish Annals — so an assembly would be in character.
