Although many lightning flashes are simply cloud-to-cloud, there are as many as 9,000,000 reported lightning strikes that damage buildings, trees, and other objects every year.Worldwide, it is estimated that of an annual 1.4 billion lightning bolts, 25% (more than 350 million) will strike the Earth's surface or objects on the surface. The vast majority of these strikes, however, occur in the tropics, and in unpopulated areas.100 times per second;Lightning can strike over a thousand times in one storm. So, lightning strikes the earth over a million times a day.Globally, 8,640,000 lightning strikes per day. See the related link for more information.

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.

Only once. After that, the place is no longer there. No, seriously, lightning may strike the same place many times. Some places are just natural lightning rods, like radio antennas on tall buildings. outcroppings of rock on mountains -- any place that a static charge is able to build uninterrupted.
Yes, the Washington Monument often has been struck by lightning. An early strike occurred on Monday, June 8, 1885.
