Answer: Depends

Step-by-step explanation:

You should be good if you have proper shelter and protection to maintain safety.

If it's hail, it's probably best to find shelter and I recommend putting a thick blanket on the windows so they don't burst.

Answer:

Like trees, houses, and people, anything outside is at risk of being struck by lightning when thunderstorms are in the area, including cars. The good news though is that the outer metal shell of hard-topped metal vehicles does provide protection to those inside a vehicle with the windows closed.
