The term "smokestack lightning" is a metaphorical description of lightning that appears to zigzag down from the sky in a way that resembles smoke billowing out of a factory smokestack. It is often used in Blues Music lyrics to symbolize a powerful and destructive force, reflecting the intensity and unpredictability of a thunderstorm. The phrase was popularized by blues musician Howlin' Wolf in his song "Smokestack Lightning."
