Most cloud to ground lightening strikes go from the cloud to the ground. Typically a leader will rise up from the ground shortly before the main lightening bolt hits to meet it. I'm not aware of any human eye quick enough to see this though.
Once the bolt hits, there is an exchange of current that pulses up and down the bolt a few times before it winks out.
Lightening bolts come in many different power levels from cold to hot (starts fires) up to super bolts. Super lightening strikes can reach inside ANY man made structure. One was responsible for a weapons depot destruction in WW11 on the Allied side in the Pacific. Another, a super secret Soviet bunker went up and was blamed on lightening.

So I'll add that perhaps wiperblade cores could be used as lightening rods.........
