Is it possible for lightning to strike daily and at the same time?

It is possible for lightning to strike daily, if you have a storm system strong enough.
For the second part of your question, the a single lightning strike that you see is actually made from multiple strikes that occur relatively at the same moment, and therefore make the "branches" to the single lightning strike.
If, instead, you're asking if it's possible for two lightning strikes to happen almost exactly 24 hours apart... yes, definitely. However, it would probably just be coincidence; there isn't anything "magical" going on here, other than that there was either one long-lasting or two separate storm systems passing through on consecutive days.

Why do you sometimes hear thunder at about the same time of lightning?
you are probably hearing the thunder from a different lightning strike.
Is sheet lightning and heat lightning the same thing?
Sheet lightning and Heat lightning are very similar, if not the same. They form the same way, but might strike different. For instance, sheet lightning looks more like a sheet in the sky, (strange eh? :D) and doesn't normally strike down into the ground, and when you have heat lightning, you see differently. But mostly, they form the same way. =D good luck!
Can lighting strike more than once?
Each lightning "strike" is typically many (perhaps a hundred) bursts of electrons moving in ever longer paths from the earth to a cloud or between clouds. It is rare for a lightning bolt to strike the same location on different occasions but lightning rods will conduct electricity and many have done so for a great number of lightning strikes.
Is it a myth or a fact that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?
No,it can fall dozens of time in the same place. Go to starryskies.com/Artshtml/dln/5-00/lightening.htmlor wvlightning.com/lmwn1a.shtmlDepending on your interpretation of the myth, it can be true, there has never been a recorded instance where a lightning hit in the same way rather than the more famous interpretation of the end position.
How can you estimate how far away the lightning strike will be?
By listening for the thunder. When you see a prominent lightning strike, start counting "one thousand one, one thousand two", etc. Each of those is about one second. There are five seconds in every mile (sound travels 1/5th of a mile per second). If you count to fifteen, the lightning strike is three miles away. Lightning and thunder occur at the same instant when the lightning strike is very close to you, and the thunder will sound more like a cymbal crash.
What can't lightning strike in the same place twice?
Lightning not only can strike the same place twice, it frequently does.
What does it mean when lightning strikes twice?
Many people (not necessarily scientiest or meteorologists) think that lightning will not strike the same place twice. So they say that it is rare for lightning to strick twice, meaning twice at the same place. This term is used to imply something that is rare.

Is it true that lightning strike only twice?
Nope - lightning can strike the same place multiple times if the object presents enough ionic attraction to ground the charge.
Lightning never strike in the same place is this myth or a fact?
It is just another myth

Why doesn't lighting strike the place twice?
Lightning can (and sometimes does) strike twice in the same place. it usually strikes three times in the same place it just apears to be one.
Why lighting strike same spot twice?
Lightning commonly strikes the same place many times. Lightning is static electricity, generated in the collisions between the clouds. The lightning wants to ground itself by striking something with a good electrical pathway to the earth. That could be a tall tree, or a steeple, or a house chimney, or any tall object that will intercept the lightning strike and bring it to ground. Lightning will strike twice if the same place it struck before is still a good, high, electrical path to the ground, and if no better places have been built.
Lightning never strike twice in the same place .is this a myth or a fact?
It is just another myth
Will there be an earthquake again?
There will be infinite amounts of earthquakes, but they rarely strike the same place twice, like lightning.
