Jewish Lightning 

To set fire to, and burn down completely (arson) a property in order to collect insurance money. The Jewish connotation refers to the Jew's love of money and therefore unwillingness to spend money (and therefore commit insurance fraud).
"Jerry got most of his money when his place got hit by Jewish Lightning."

or

"Ben Steinfeldenstein's deli was the fortunate victim of Jewish Lighting, and he can now afford that new house."

Ride the lightning

A harsher alternative meaning for "go with the flow."

Going with the flow implies just going with whatever happens.

Since lightning is so fast, deadly, etc., "riding the lightning" denotes a "fuck it all" mentality in which the person is so fed up, that they ultimately concede and just adapt or let themselves go to arbitrary circumstance, no matter how austere or violent it may be.
"I can't take this shit no more..."
"Aww, fuck it all. Just go with flow, ride the lightning..."

Someone or something incredibly fast
When he heard you were coming, he left like greased lightning.
