Hi two things make the effect of lightning.

One it occurs virtually instantaneously - it's there and then it's not, it doesn't grow down, and the biggest visual cue is the lighting flash that accompanies it, creating a stark bright illumination of the clouds and ground, also you probably want to add glow.

If you watch video clips of lightning, you'll notice that lightning actually doesn't move much, if at all.

Actually, that web site has some pretty interesting clips of lightning flashes. I'd suggest downloading some and studing them frame by frame. It might help in creating something a little more realistic.

 

* Edit: Ooops. The webpage doesn't seem to like me linking directly to one of it's files. Changed the link to the actual web page itself.
