What causes most deaths Earthquakes lightning Strikes or Hurricanes?
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
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.
LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES TWICE IN THE SAME PLACE. IT IS THE MYTH OR A FACT?
Lightning can strike anywhere and it is certain that over geological time ALL places on Earth have been struck more than once. In cases where something on the surface may build up an electrical charge at a point (eg a lightening rod) then the lightning will certainly strike it much more frequently. Also if one films a SINGLE lightning strike at high speed, it is clear that what we see as a single strike is in fact many strikes, one after the other using the same ionised discharge path between the sky and earth. So a single lightning bolt actually strikes the same place more than once.
How far away is the thunderstorm if there is 20 seconds between each lightning strike?
This doesn't really make sense because there is no specific time span between lightning strikes. The only thing I can say is that if the lightning is brighter, than it is no more than three miles way from where you are currently. And I'm not talking about altitude either.
Is fork lightning more dangerous than sheet lightning?
Sheet lightning, or more accurately intracloud lightning is the same as lightning that hits the ground, the only difference is that it is within the cloud. They are no different apart from that. They are the exact same thing, except one would take a different path. They are both dangerous.
Are weeping willow trees prone to lightning strikes?
They are prone to lightning strikes. The high water content of willows makes them relatively good electrical conductors and so they get more than their share of lightning strikes.
Is height a factor in lighting strikes?
There are three factors in lightning strikes. These are height, isolation, and shape. Higher structures will be more susceptible to lightning strikes than shorter ones.
Do tornadoes strike more frequently than lightning?
No they mostly strike the US but lightning strikes everywhere
Is it true that lightning strikes more males than females?

What does Florida have more of than any other state?
lightning strikes
Which other US state has more lightning than Illinois?
Florida has more lightning strikes than any other state.
What is sheet or heat lightning?
Sheet lightning and heat lightning are descriptive terms rather than scientific. Sheet lighting is cloud to cloud lightning that is viewed from such a distance that there is no sound. Heat lightning can be either cloud to cloud or cloud to ground at same distance with the added element of color tinting from atmospheric particles as with a sunset.
When was the last time lightning struck?
lightning strikes all the time so probably no more than 5 minutes ago.
What causes most deaths Earthquakes lightning Strikes or Hurricanes?
Earthquakes have caused more deaths than hurricanes, and hurricanes have caused more deaths than lightning.
Why does lightning strike near water?
Lightning strikes strike near water because water is a good conductor of electricity. Most lightning strikes happen by the ocean because the salt makes it an even better conductor at electricity than fresh water.
