It is still a posibility even though ball lightnings are simply not proven to exist "in nature". Therefore the scene with the ball lightning was hillarious. Not only is the chance that somelike like that (IF it even exists!) to appear right in front of you AT THE RIGHT TIME approching zero, but the slow floating of the thing and hitting the trash can was just soooo funny. I laughed really hard.

I think that she is supposed to have some sort of "super power", taht connect her to the weather. She said herself, that she never went to university.

I see it almost every time I fly in an aircraft and sit at a window seat at the shadowed side of the airplane. I've got the feeling they are going to run out of interesting and unusual meteorological phenomena before the series is finished, and hope they don't resort to non-existent phenomena like ball lightening again.
I'm honest when I say: I don't care! The characters are established and interesting enought. What is with her? What happend to her parents? What is going on with the female anouncer? What is the relationship between the barwoman and the doctor?
Up to now, I really like "Otenki Oneesan" and am quite entertained by it. I have to admit that I like Takei Emi and think it's great, so her her in a totally different role compared with the last one.
