Yes, take the Empire State Building, it gets hit by lightning hundreds of times a year.

Can lightning hit one spot more than once?
Well, I found the same question on yahoo answers, and it's been answered:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080531195549AA0j3S2
Does lighting strike twice in the same spot?
Yes, lightning can strike the same spot more than once. Tall structures like buildings and trees are often struck repeatedly because they provide a direct path to the ground for the electrical discharge.
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.
Evidence on why ligthing never strikes the same place twice a myth?
The notion that lightning never strikes the same place twice is a myth. Lightning can strike the same location repeatedly, especially tall structures or high points that attract lightning due to their conductivity. In fact, some areas are more prone to lightning strikes due to geographic features or weather patterns.
What scientists have researched lightning?
Florida is the hot spot as regards lightning in the U.S. They have more lightning than a body can do, literally and figuratively. And the University of Florida has a group of researchers who are point on as regards investigating lightning. A link is provided.
Why doesn't lightning hit a place twice?
This is not true. Some places have been hit many times. The Empire State Building, for example, is hit by lightning an average of 100 times per year. If you looked at it from a simple perspective, most spots are never hit by lightning, but one bolt does not affect the chances of another striking. So the chances of the same spot getting hit twice completely at random are extremely low. However, lightning is not completely random. Tall objects naturally attract lightning, so objects such as towers and mountains tend to be struck fairly frequently.
Which continent to most be hit by lightning?
The chances of any given spot on Earth getting hit by a meteor are the same as they ar for any other spot. Because of this, Asia would be hit by more meteors than the other continents simply because it is the largest by area. However, the number of meteors per area unit is the same as it is anywhere else.
What does math have to do with lightning?
The probability of lightning striking any one spot, or the heat or light output of lightning. Maybe the number or volts.
Is epicenter the same as spot?
No. Epicenter is the same as precisely the spot.
Where can I find information on the phenomenon of continuous lightning in one spot?
You can find information on the phenomenon of continuous lightning in one spot by researching scientific journals, academic websites, and books on atmospheric phenomena. Additionally, you may find relevant information from meteorological organizations and research institutions that study lightning and weather patterns.
Will a tire with a flat spot recover?
No, once it has a flat spot it will always have a flat spot. Replace the tire.
Where to catch feebas?
Route 119 is the best place, but he is a hard fish to catch... if you try, fish around the rocks in the river, once you catch one, breed it or catch more in the same spot you caught the first one...
