Just cleared a line of squalls. What is a good rule of thumb for clearing cloud tops where the possibility of lightning exists?

You should NEVER overfly a Thunderstorm because the tops can reach well above 60,000 feet.

A good rule of thumb is toavoid thunderstorms by 10nm FL200 and above and 5nm below that.
Why is it that most ATC controllers can't drink coffee and direct traffic at the same time?
