(a) It is safer to be inside a car during thunderstorm because the car acts like a Faraday cage. The metal in the car will shield you from any external electric field and thus prevent the lightning from travelling within the car.
(b) Awareness and humanity.
(c ) Gratitude and obliged.
(d) I once came across to a situation where a puppy was struck in the middle of a busy road during rain and was not able to go cross due to heavy flow, so I quickly rushed and helped him.
