🧵 Am I safe from lightning in a Ford Transit?

I drive a Ford Transit for a local dry cleaners and I'm concerned about lightning strikes. I understand that it's basically a big Faraday cage but the interior of the back is not insulated like a car and there are three metal rails for hanging clothes, the left one sitting about three feet from my head. Is this close enough for the current to jump from that rail to me, were I to get struck? I had to drive through some hellish thunderstorms today, lots of lightning, and I was flipping out the whole time. Am I reasonably safe or is my concern legitimate?

Do you see how much fucking metal that van has? I'd say you're safer than in other cars. It'd be a good car to run over a fucking lightning wizard with. Unless you drive on a fucking mountain the chance of your car getting hit is fucking nil. The real lightning redpill is you should never take a shower when it's storming out. Ever. CDC says so.

Nigger who the fuck is scared of lightning in a car, its a none issue
It's insulated, the worst that will happen is it will blow some fuses
