How can a storm cloud generator a charge if it would send electrons in all
directions? Do these new charges emerge from some kind of singularity in
the middle of the cloud?

A storm cloud generate the high VOLTAGE not a charge. The Earth has the
excess of electrons so the atmosphere too. But currents and lightnings take
place only if the difference of voltage exist. Water droplets work like the
capacitor. Small drops in cloud small voltage, large drops large voltage
(see Kelvins high voltage generator). In a storm cloud are stored heat and
electrons. The both must be dissipated when the cloud disappear.
