Question

During a thunderstorm, which one of the following is the most preferred place for hiding?

• A. Wooden carriage
• B. Inside a car
• C. Inside a pool of water
• D. Open field

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Inside a car

A big shed, house or the safest place is a car. The car is metal outside, so if lightning strikes it is like a Faraday cage. The lightning strike would actually follow the outside body of the car and then disappear into the ground.
