Too many. Being in car with windows not open is the one of the safest places to be during lightning storm. Just don't be in contact with metal objects on the cars interior.

The places located near equators are mostly affected by lightning. It is created by the cyclonic Storm. Approximately the death rate in U.S.A is 1 person per million in a year. The death rate is twice as much as this in Asian countries. The death in England is one eighth of the death rate in USA. World wide nearly about 1000 lightnings are striking each minute. The electricity produced by this is equal to light 10 millions bulbs. Since you are insulated by tyre from the ground the chances are rare to be affected when you are in a car.
