Does this support their prediction?
Nope.

The 3 "bursts" were seen more that 2 weeks (June14th) before impact, another one about a week later (June 22nd), and one 2 days before impact (July 2nd). No flashes were seen "shortly before impact".

edit to add:

Seeing that the impactor took pictures literally at ground zero, and no electrical flashes were observed, I think that pretty much puts the Electric Comet theory to rest.
