different approach

I have taken a different approach to finding a lightning strike location
after seeking guidance from my professor. Once I have everything working
smoothly, I can most likely shrink the code by combining several steps
and not inserting EVERYTHING into the database.
Things to consider: units, hopefully everything from this point will
depend on setting up the units for the buffer tool, and making sure the
sensor distance matches the buffer. The program that passes distances to
this one will need to select three distances that are within a specific
time slot. Then we can be more sure we are getting distances from the
same lightning strike.
