Your car’s rubber tyres do not protect you from lightning. In a fully enclosed vehicle with a metal roof and sides, the outer metal shell conducts the electrical current around the occupants and towards the ground. Keep the windows closed and avoid touching exposed metal or plugged-in electrical devices. Convertibles and open vehicles do not offer the same protection. A strike can still damage tyres, windows and electronics – so while the car may help protect you, it could need more than a service afterwards!

O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.
