An electrical storm can potentially damage your car by causing power surges that can harm the electrical systems, such as the battery, ignition system, and computer. Lightning strikes can also cause direct damage to the vehicle's electrical components or starting a fire if it hits the car directly. It is recommended to park your car in a garage or under a shelter during electrical storms to minimize any risk of damage.

Why do you have to stay in car when there is electrical storm?
Rubber on the tires is an electrical insulator. No electricity can be conducted from the ground up through the car because of the tires, otherwise a downed power line in some water, with the metal car - yikes! All would be conductive, except the rubber tires.
Should your car stay running when you take the pos battery termanal off?
