    They’re in a city surrounding by buildings that should have lightning rods. Doesn’t seem all that dumb to think it’s extremely unlikely to be hit by lightning there.

    The video is likely fake.

      There’s no suggestions to stay outside during thunderstorms. It’s always “Go inside”, regardless of where you are. I don’t know where they would get the idea from that it is safe. Maybe a bit safer, but then they should walk closer to the building that they think is protecting them.

      Edit: Can you explain to me how this was possible when the car was right next to a lamppost?

            WHY AREN’T YOU MORE WORRIED ABOUT BEING STRUCK BY LIGHTNING!!

            You know, the thing that’s used as an example of extremely rare events.

              Show me your anger, please!

              If people would go outside all the time during thunderstorms with metal poles raised up, it wouldn’t be as rare. There’s a reason humans and animals hide from storms. And that’s the reason a lightning strike hitting a human is considered a rare event. When it isn’t even that rare.

              You guys just claim the buildings have lightning rods when you don’t even know.
