lightnings

Storm's bright flashes

Lightnings is the plural of lightning, used when referring to multiple distinct lightning events or types: The lightnings of the summer storm lit up the valley.

The plural is uncommon in everyday speech, where lightning typically functions as an uncountable noun, but appears in literary, poetic, or technical contexts describing separate flashes or varieties of electrical discharge.
