She’s had the experience of being in a Farraday cage. Happened to me once, but I was sitting on my bed at the time. Lightning hit the power lines across the street, or possibly the three-story elevator cage at the side of the house (don’t ask). Anyway, there was a bright light, and everything in the room that was electronic had a burst of light and died. The house in essence insulated me from being fried–just as the car did for her. My honey at the time explained to me what had happened, so you’ll get better info from a physicist. But she’s had a Farraday cage experience, and she is NOT crazy!
