Yeah I'm pretty sure that this is in the 2e PHB or DMG in the underwater combat section.I'm not sure if it's in 5e, but I think in earlier editions, a lightning bolt acted as a fireball centered at the start point of the 'bolt'.

In real world physics the lightning would fail to penetrate very deeply and instead disapate across the surface (thats why fish dont die in every storm). A Hag swimming on the surface might get hit (10ft circle?) but diving under water would allow them to avoid damage.
Would a heat metal spell be negated if the target jumped into the water? What would happen to a fireball cast under water?
