I`ve worked in many protected structures struck repeatedly by lightning
to their air terminals, rods, and towersm resulting in not one scintilla
of damage to occupants or equipment.

Transportation vehicles are struck by lightning every day and seldom
experience anything inside. An open convertible is not safe in a
lightning strike however.
