There is, it's just overcome by the forces causing the separation of charge... Understand that just as in a chemical battery, there is an active process keeping the charges separated, and it has to do with the turbulent columns of air moving vertically inside the cloud. It's been about

This is not a static process, but the success of thunderstorm electricity results from the kinetic ratio of two ongoing process. One suspects that the rate of formation of free charge in the cloud, caused by friction between water crystals pulling protons off of one, exceeds the rate of free

I appreciate the answers but find that they generate more questions in the same direction.   As of 1998, cloud electrification was still generally termed a mystery.  It's difficult to see how small charges over large distances still cooperate to create a lightning bolt as a focused phenomena ,
