Remember; Electric-geologic formations can occur from secondary current loops coming from Inside the Earth. Planetary bodies are not required to trigger an arc outburst. If the inflow of solar current into the Earth's circuit is sufficient, it will lead to catastrophic arcing coming from below the crust. (Img1-see blue secondary loops)

Not necessarily, but the plasma physics will direct energy flow to predictable geometric hotspots, like the South Atlantic magnetic anomaly. Arc storms can erupt anywhere, just like regular Thunderstorms. They are the product of an extremely complex natural system, but when taking a few factors into account they can be understood and scalable. Current will flow into and out of the crust, often interacting with subsurface features that we can't see, like aquifers, mineral/metallic/crystal deposits, magma patches, etc.
Imaging a tornado vortex with so much energy flowing through it that it starts to glow like a fluorescent tube, that's what we're talking about here. It can have supersonic winds, vitrifying temperatures that melt stone, vaporize rock & weld mountains in-place. Notice in the first image of the area surrounding Devil's Tower, the right side was electrically excavated out of the ground, then deposited by the current loop that flowed from below the crust, up into the air, and westward to be deposited as mountains on the left. I believe this was the result of a single storm that erupted locally over that region, likely due to a global change in circuit voltage.
I agree, I believe the veracity of ancient myths regarding the wandering of planets is virtually undeniable when you see the wealth of anthropological and geologic evidence.
I think for many of the uninitiated folk just hearing of a EU hypothesis for the first time, the jump to planets in chaos is a bridge too far (considering we've all been indoctrinated into a uniformitarian geologic worldview) and they'll reject the concept off-hand.
I just really love geology, and I think it's the hard-scientific minutiae of the geology & plasma physics research that's being done that will really open peoples eyes to the evidence right in front of us.
