Stomper Yarwanna said his friend's car was struck by lightning at an open space carpark in Tuas.

He wondered if people would really be safe had they been in the vehicle when the incident occurred.

The Stomper wrote:

"One of my friend's car was hit by lightning when he parked at an open space car park at his work place around Tuas.

"All this time, we know that we will be safe when there's heavy lightning if we are inside the car.

"However during that time, he was not in the car and missed the chance to know whether this theory is correct or not."​

They'd be perfectly safe inside the car because of a physical phenomenon known as the "Faraday Cage Effect".

I've driven a car into a lightning storm before. You can see the lightning striking the highway in front but you cannot stop. Thankfully got through safe.

Will the insurer pay for the damage?....will it be an "act of God"???

This is usually not covered by insurance and furthermore if your car is parallel imported then you may have extra problems if the people you bought the car from already close shop and the normal dealer dont wanna help your situation.
