On August 5, in Beihai City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a vehicle was struck multiple times by lightning during an intense thunderstorm. The driver stayed inside for about five minutes and remained unharmed. Footage shows flashes illuminating the car's roof as the engine immediately stalled, this was due to the Faraday cage principle – the metal car body reroutes electricity around the cabin to the ground, protecting passengers. While the car may suffer electrical damage, occupants inside are generally safe as long as they avoid touching the metal frame.
