TEARING OF SPACE FABRIC??
EVEN SUPERMASSIVE BLACKHOLES DON'T TEAR THEM

Ummmm.... what? I'm going to take a stab at answering this, but please let me know if I've read your question incorrectly.
I assume you're asking if all the reports of odd objects raining from the sky during and following a large storm are the result of lightning actually causing these objects to appear from somewhere else. The answer is no; as far as we know, there isn't anything on earth powerful enough to tear the fabric of space-time (heck, as far as we know, even a black hole doesn't TEAR the fabric of space-time, only warp it) These stories are either simply the result of overactive imaginations and too much spare time, or might be the result of high winds picking up random objects and carrying them miles and miles. Just as high winds can keep particles of ice suspended in air until they form hail the size of softballs, ground-level winds might pick up small frogs, insects, or produce and loft them many hundreds of feet, and I suppose if it's mating season for the frogs or insects, there might be enough of them around that a larger number of them get picked up by the same gust of wind and deposited in the same general area when the wind dies down. In any event, it's not lightning causing this.

ah well - rthe anwer is on what level? when you get to a small enough dimention the mere presence of an unexcited nucleus causes an infinite number of particles to appear thru the fabric of space.this is the bare charge effect and it almost sunk quamtum mechanics befor someone decided to make some ugly assumtions called re-normalizations and were able to patch it back up. so the answer is yes at some level
