Question

Anwar's car has broken down and he is caught in a thunderstorm. He sees a tree some distance away from the car. Would he be safer if he (a) stands under the tree or (b) stays inside the car?
(Hint: Recall the discussion on safety measures against lightning strikes)

Answer 1

Dear student,

Anwar should stay in his car only, due to the following rules of safety when lighting strikes

Do not stand underneath a natural lighting rod such as a tall, isolated tree

Take no time to reach a safe building or an automobile.​
