Forgive me! I should have known it was a stupid joke.
Any post that contains "Just Saying" means it is NOT defendable.

Dr. Emmitt Brown knew where lightning would strike and at what exact time! 
On top of that, he got the required 1.21 gigawatts!

"It appears to me that there are no ways to predict where the lightning will 
strike. Yes, you know that it will be somewhere below a the thunder storm 
passing by but the strikes seem to ignore high structures from not that 
high."

actually no, you don't know that it will be somewhere below the 
thunderstorm.  the large positive strokes often reach out quite a distance 
from the cloud.  This
is because they normally originate from the top of the cloud and come out 
horizontally then down.  these strokes are where the phrase 'bolt from the 
blue' came from as they can appear to come out of clear blue sky.
